From a childhood survivor of the Cambodian genocide under the regime of Pol Pot, this is a riveting narrative of war crimes and desperate actions, the unnerving strength of a small girl and her 家庭, and their triumph of spirit.
One of seven children of a high-ranking government official, Loung Ung lived a privileged life in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh until the age of five. 然后, 1975年4月, Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge army stormed into the city, forcing Ung’s 家庭 to flee and, 最终, 驱散. Loung was trained as a child soldier in a work camp for orphans, her siblings were sent to labor camps, and those who survived the horrors would not be reunited until the Khmer Rouge was destroyed.
痛苦却充满希望, Loung’s powerful story is an unforgettable account of a 家庭 shaken and shattered, yet miraculously sustained by courage and love in the face of unspeakable brutality.
From the memories of getting their teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with their loving grandmother, to their first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by a Black queer young person.
Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer masculine presenting people of color, 并非所有男孩都是蓝色的 covers topics such as gender identity, 有毒的男子气概, 兄弟会, 家庭, structural marginalization, 同意, 和黑乐. 约翰逊’s emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults.
