Language and Identity in the Education of Boston-Area Khmer.
Smith-Hefner, Nancy J.
Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v21 n3 p250-68 Sep 1990
The author finds the Khmer refugee parents of children in Boston area schools to be relatively uninterested in the question of their children's education, following from a fatalistic outlook that distinguishes them from other Southeast Asian refugees, whose children are urged to succeed against all odds.
