Buddha Is Hiding tells the story of Cambodian Americans experiencing American citizenship from the bottom up. Based on extensive fieldwork in Oakland and San Francisco, this study puts a human face on the impact of U.S. institutions -- medical, social welfare, judicial, religious, and economic -- on refugees who are negotiating a strange new culture.
