Download or read book Vietnamese Americans written by Darrel Montero and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1979-08-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents and analyses the migration of Indochinese refugees to the United States. And, employing data from a national sample, it reports on the changing socio-economic status of the Vietnamese refugees. The author, director of the Urban Ethnic Research Program at Arizona State University, focuses on the patterns of the refugees' socio-economic adaptation and resettlement. In order to do that, the book begins with a chapter devoted to a brief history of Viet Nam, the nation and its people, beginning from pre-history up to 1975. In Chapter Three, there is a discussion of the arrival of the Vietnamese refugees in the United States. A demographic profile of the refugees is included to identify the characteristics of those who felt compelled to leave their native land and start life anew. A look at the refugee camps, voluntary agencies, and sponsors provides one basis for assessing the refugees' adaptation to American life. In Chapter IV, Professor Montero analyses the results of five sample surveys concerning changing socio-economic status over a two-year period based upon a population of some 35,000 refugees. Chapter V has a socio-historical model of the Vietnamese migration experience which attempts to predict the prospects for future socio-economic adaptation and cultural assimilation of the Vietnamese. The last chapter summarizes the general findings and discusses the continuing influx of refugees from Indo-China as well as the status of research on the Vietnamese. Extensive tables in the appendices provide socio-economic data on the refugee population.
Download or read book Family Tightrope written by Nazli Kibria and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the popular media have described Vietnamese Americans as the quintessential American immigrant success story, attributing their accomplishments to the values they learn in the traditional, stable, hierarchical confines of their family. Questioning the accuracy of such family portrayals, Nazli Kibria draws on in-depth interviews and participant observation with Vietnamese immigrants in Philadelphia to show how they construct their family lives in response to the social and economic challenges posed by migration and resettlement. To a surprising extent, the "traditional" family unit rarely exists, and its hierarchical organization has been greatly altered.
Download or read book Growing Up American written by Min Zhou and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1999-09-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnamese Americans form a unique segment of the new U.S. immigrant population. Uprooted from their homeland and often thrust into poor urban neighborhoods, these newcomers have nevertheless managed to establish strong communities in a short space of time. Most remarkably, their children often perform at high academic levels despite difficult circumstances. Growing Up American tells the story of Vietnamese children and sheds light on how they are negotiating the difficult passage into American society. Min Zhou and Carl Bankston draw on research and insights from many sources, including the U.S. census, survey data, and their own observations and in-depth interviews. Focusing on the Versailles Village enclave in New Orleans, one of many newly established Vietnamese communities in the United States, the authors examine the complex skein of family, community, and school influences that shape these children's lives. With no ties to existing ethnic communities, Vietnamese refugees had little control over where they were settled and no economic or social networks to plug into. Growing Up American describes the process of building communities that were not simply transplants but distinctive outgrowths of the environment in which the Vietnamese found themselves. Family and social organizations re-formed in new ways, blending economic necessity with cultural tradition. These reconstructed communities create a particular form of social capital that helps disadvantaged families overcome the problems associated with poverty and ghettoization. Outside these enclaves, Vietnamese children faced a daunting school experience due to language difficulties, racial inequality, deteriorating educational services, and exposure to an often adversarial youth subculture. How have the children of Vietnamese refugees managed to overcome these challenges? Growing Up American offers important evidence that community solidarity, cultural values, and a refugee sensibility have provided them with the resources needed to get ahead in American society. Zhou and Bankston also document the price exacted by the process of adaptation, as the struggle to define a personal identity and to decide what it means to be American sometimes leads children into conflict with their tight-knit communities. Growing Up American is the first comprehensive study of the unique experiences of Vietnamese immigrant children. It sets the agenda for future research on second generation immigrants and their entry into American society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classic Edition of 'Immigrant Youth in Cultural Transition', first published in 2006, includes a new introduction by the editors, describing the ongoing relevance of this volume in the context of future challenges for this vital field of study. It emphasizes the importance of continued actions and policies to improve the quality of interactions between multiple ethno-cultural groups, and highlights how these issues have developed the field of cross-cultural psychology. In the original text, an international team of psychologists with interests in acculturation, identity, and development describes the experience and adaptation of immigrant youth, using data from over 7,000 immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds and national youth living in 13 countries of settlement. They explore the way in which immigrant adolescents carry out their lives at the intersection of two cultures (those of their heritage group and the national society), and how well these youth are adapting to their intercultural experience. It explores four distinct patterns followed by youth during their acculturation: *an integration pattern, in which youth orient themselves to, and identify with both cultures; *an ethnic pattern, in which youth are oriented mainly to their own group; *a national pattern, in which youth look primarily to the national society; and *a diffuse pattern, in which youth are uncertain and confused about how to live interculturally. The study shows the variation in both the psychological adaptation and the sociocultural adaptation among youth, with most adapting well. This Classic Edition continues to be highly valuable reading for researchers, graduate students, and public policy makers who have an interest in public health, psychology, anthropology, sociology, demography, education, and psychiatry.
