Book excerpt: This paper aims at elucidating commonalities and differences between resettlement experiences of non-South East Asian and Indo-Chinese refugees as well as comparing them with adaptation processes of other immigrant groups. In describing economic adaptation, the author states that non-South East Asian refugees have higher labour-force participation rates than South East Asian refugees, lower unemployment, and lower reliance on public assistance programmes. She examines the patterns and type of employment among various groups, relying on recent surveys and studies. Wages and occupational mobility are also discussed. Within the section on factors influencing refugee employment, mention is given to demographic factors, length of time in the United States, background characteristics that effect later adjustment, household size and composition, and employment services. There are two brief sections dealing with public assistance utilization and economic self-sufficiency. The author concludes that research provides good news concerning non-South East Asian refugees and their economic adaptation and integration in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with access to an important body of information taken from surveys on the initial adaptation of South East Asian refugees to the United States. The material, devided into eight chapters with numerous tables, is an extension of the findings presented at a panel on the experiences of South East Asian refugees, held in May 1986 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The book, according to the editor, serves as an introduction to a specific kind of research on the adaptation of these refugees as one recent set of immigrants to the United States. The introductory chapter gives some general characteristics of the immigrant population, the contexts of refugee adaptation, and an overview of research on South East Asian refugees. Chapter 2 describes the annual surveys sponsored by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and its predecessors, especially those between 1981 and 1985. Chapter 3, entitled 'Differential reference group assimilation among Vietnamese refugees', reports the findings of a three-year panel study of Vietnamese refugees conducted from 1978 to 1981 in Northern California and the central Gulf Coast. Two other chapters deal with the period 1975-1979, concentrating on adaptation within specific areas of the United States. A separate chapter describes a survey of Indo-Chinese refugees in San Diego, California, between 1975 and 1981. Another survey concentrates on the general pattern of refugee achievement, the socio-cultural basis for the economic and educational success of South East Asian refugees. The last chapter gives the result of a comprehensive longitudinal study by the Indochinese Health and Adaptation Research Project (IHARP) in San Diego, California. It encompasses the major 'waves' from 1975 to 1983 and all of the main ethnocultural groups of South East Asian refugees in the United States. It includes sections on English proficiency, occupational adaptation, economic adaptation, health status, psychological adaptation, economic self-sufficiency, education, fertility and adaptation, and depression and adaptation.

Book excerpt: This report examines the social and economic adaptation of Indo-Chinese refugee minors in the United States. Its objective is to provide possible guidelines for assistance programmes and refugee personnel. The findings are based on questionnaires completed by refugee personnel and unaccompanied refugee minors. The report is divided into three sections: the first describes assistance programmes for unaccompanied refugee minors; the second surveys the results of a questionnaire completed by 420 out of the total of 1,445 children in the assistance programmes; and, the third analyses two questionnaires sent to organizations involved in the programmes. The authors note that the assistance programmes include cultural and vocational orientation to the United States; occasional support for the refugees' cultural heritage; and, evaluation and assessment of refugees upon arrival to provide information for their subsequent placement and care. They point out that integration has been easier for those children whose needs were carefully evaluated. At the same time, they found that, in contrast with adult refugees, schooling and special English language courses have given the majority of the refugee minors a reasonable command of English. In addition, and again unlike their adult counterparts, the children tended to move more easily within and between their own and the US culture. The authors' recommendations include: 1) refugee personnel should be provided with better background information on the refugees' culture and society; 2) measures should be taken to reduce staff turnover in order to ensure continuity of care; 3) an evaluation should be carried out on the long-term effects of the assistance programmes; and 4) the similarities and differences in the integration process for children and adult refugees should be studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume probe systematically and in depth the adaptation patterns and trajectories of concrete ethnic groups. They provide a close look at this rising second generation by focusing on youth of diverse national origins—Mexican, Cuban, Nicaraguan, Filipino, Vietnamese, Haitian, Jamaican and other West Indian—coming of age in immigrant families on both coasts of the United States. Their analyses draw on the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study, the largest research project of its kind to date. Ethnicities demonstrates that, while some of the ethnic groups being created by the new immigration are in a clear upward path, moving into society's mainstream in record time, others are headed toward a path of blocked aspirations and downward mobility. The book concludes with an essay summarizing the main findings, discussing their implications, and identifying specific lessons for theory and policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author and scholar James C. Scott, the compelling tale of Asian peoples who until recently have stemmed the vast tide of state-making to live at arm’s length from any organized state society For two thousand years the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia (a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions of seven Asian countries) have fled the projects of the organized state societies that surround them—slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare. This book, essentially an “anarchist history,” is the first-ever examination of the huge literature on state-making whose author evaluates why people would deliberately and reactively remain stateless. Among the strategies employed by the people of Zomia to remain stateless are physical dispersion in rugged terrain; agricultural practices that enhance mobility; pliable ethnic identities; devotion to prophetic, millenarian leaders; and maintenance of a largely oral culture that allows them to reinvent their histories and genealogies as they move between and around states. In accessible language, James Scott, recognized worldwide as an eminent authority in Southeast Asian, peasant, and agrarian studies, tells the story of the peoples of Zomia and their unlikely odyssey in search of self-determination. He redefines our views on Asian politics, history, demographics, and even our fundamental ideas about what constitutes civilization, and challenges us with a radically different approach to history that presents events from the perspective of stateless peoples and redefines state-making as a form of “internal colonialism.” This new perspective requires a radical reevaluation of the civilizational narratives of the lowland states. Scott’s work on Zomia represents a new way to think of area studies that will be applicable to other runaway, fugitive, and marooned communities, be they Gypsies, Cossacks, tribes fleeing slave raiders, Marsh Arabs, or San-Bushmen.
