Query: Flawed with stereotypes

I know I am in the minority but I along with many other teachers do not approve of this book despite the many rave reviews. "Children of the River" promotes the notion that Cambodian culture is oppresive where the main character Sundara states throughout the book of her need to liberalize herself from Cambodian "strictness". The book also makes the notion that the term "American" only refers to Caucasians. I am not of Cambodian background but I myself and many of my other colleages plead that you look at this book critcally and decide if this is how you want people to learn about the Cambodian experience.
