This chapter studies the relation between state-sanctioned ideology and daily life. It analyzes the combination between daily terror and music, song, and dance in Cambodian genocide. It notes that during this genocidal period, the Khmer Rouge banned older, “counterrevolutionary” aesthetic practices, and created hundreds of new songs and dances in order to promote revolutionary change and encourage the destruction of the regime's enemies.Less

This chapter presents a reading of writer, poet, and performer Anida Yoeu Ali’s epic poem “Visiting Loss” and installation piece “Palimpsest for Generation 1.5.” These two works reproduce a transnational refugee subjectivity formed in the interstices of U.S. foreign policy, Cambodian genocide, Cambodian American remembrance, and juridical activism. The chapter concludes that Cambodian American memories form the foundation for a multivalent archive constitutive of Cambodian history, Khmer/American culture, and U.S. racial politics. From memoir to documentary, from hip-hop to staged performance, Cambodian American cultural producers strategically access legible forms of testimony within the United States to generate both a literal and an imagined space of justice in Cambodia while living in the United States.Less
