Carol A. Mortland is a retired professor and the coeditor (with David W. Haines) of Manifest Destinies: Americanizing Immigrants and Internationalizing Americans, and (with May M. Ebihara and Judy Ledgerwood) Cambodian Culture Since 1975: Homeland and Exile.

"Based on a lifetime of both academic and personal work with the Cambodian refugee community in America, Cambodian Buddhism in the United States is a monumental text. Detailing the full range of Cambodian Buddhist practice and Khmer religious life in America, Carol Mortland's work provides an examination of living as a refugee and preserving cultural identity that—although encyclopedic in both its depth and breadth—still remains deeply personal and moving." — Nova Religio"Mortland's Cambodian Buddhism in the United States will be valuable first for those seeking to understand Khmer Buddhist communities and practice in the United States, and second to those seeking to compare the experiences of those communities with other refugee and immigrant religious groups in the US, or to compare with Khmer Buddhism in Cambodia or elsewhere. I recommend it highly to those interested in the topics above, and to institutions with ethnic studies, immigration studies, refugee studies, Asian-American studies, or religious studies departments." — Erik W. Davis, Reading Religion
