Buddist values inspire Cambodian adults and adolescents to be successful individuals within their families, culture, and American society. Studying a Cambodian community in a New England city over a nine-year period, Canniff maintains that individuals who sustain strong cultural identity, while adding pragmatic strategies for getting ahead, are consistently the most successful. The grandparents and parents in this study teach that a fulfilling life is balanced between respect and generosity to the family and Cambodian community and obligations to school and career. Adolescents cling to this concept of balance and frequently choose a less stressful school and career path in order to honor their cultural obligations. "...a well-honed book of interest to scholars and students specializing in ethnic studies, immigration history, religious studies, and U.S. multicultural studies" -- Sucheng Chan, University of California, Santa Barbara
