【美国多样化】- 散居社群:加州长滩的柬埔寨人

2017年01月11日 美国驻华大使馆



加州洛杉矶县的长滩市有大约60,000名柬埔寨人(高棉人),这是世界上最大的柬埔寨散居社区。上世纪七十年代中期,为逃离红色高棉政权,成千上万的柬埔寨人移民到美国,定居在长滩。 


今天,大多数柬埔寨人居住的长滩地区被称为“柬埔寨城”。佛教寺庙、高棉艺术中心、传统的柬埔寨舞蹈学校和高棉语报纸都可以在长滩找到。它已经成为柬埔寨以外的柬埔寨文化中心。柬埔寨文化的哪些方面在加州的长滩延续?

#AmericanDiversity – Diaspora: Cambodians in Long Beach, CA 

The city of Long Beach in Los Angeles County, California is home to approximately 60,000 Cambodians (Khmer), the largest Cambodian diaspora community in the world.  Thousands of Cambodians immigrated to the U.S. to escape the Khmer Rouge regime in the mid-seventies and settled in Long Beach.  Today the area of Long Beach where most Cambodians live is known as “Cambodia Town.”  Buddhist temples, Khmer art centers, traditional Cambodian dance schools and Khmer language newspapers can all be found in Long Beach.  It has become the center of Cambodian culture outside of Cambodia itself.  What aspects of Cambodian culture continue in Long Beach, CA?  Learn more about Cambodian-Americans and their heritage at (eng) http://www.camchap.org/en/cambodianinlb
