Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report responds to a request by the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees, and International Law concerning the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) practices and procedures for adjudicating the cases of Vietnamese refugee applicants. The report states that although the Attorney General's decision in August 1988 that the INS should begin applying its world-wide guidance for overseas refugee processing granting refugee status to Vietnamese applicants, the number of Vietnamese being offered entry into the US has not declined. Most of those denied refugee status, the report says, were offered entry as Public Interest Parolees. Information is given concerning the INS refugee adjudication process in Viet Nam. The major part of the report deals with the Orderly Departure Programme (ODP). The ODP's history is presented, as well as the specifics of ODP application procedures. Statistics are given relating to the number of Vietnamese arrivals in the US in fiscal year 1989. Various explanations show how refugee denial rates do not reflect a drop in ODP activity. The report states that ODP applicant processing has been thorough and consistent, although not all decisions contained sufficient explanations of the examiners' decisions. The report concludes that the high refugee denial rates in the ODP are not an accurate indicator of the treatment of refugees under the programme. It says that INS refugee approvals, or denials with accompanying offers of parole, are primarily mechanisms for resettling Vietnamese families unable to travel under immigrant visas.

Book excerpt: The legacy and memory of wartime South Vietnam through the eyes of Vietnamese refugees In 1975, South Vietnam fell to communism, marking a stunning conclusion to the Vietnam War. Although this former ally of the United States has vanished from the world map, Long T. Bui maintains that its memory endures for refugees with a strong attachment to this ghost country. Blending ethnography with oral history, archival research, and cultural analysis, Returns of War considers Returns of War argues that Vietnamization--as Richard Nixon termed it in 1969--and the end of South Vietnam signals more than an example of flawed American military strategy, but a larger allegory of power, providing cover for U.S. imperial losses while denoting the inability of the (South) Vietnamese and other colonized nations to become independent, modern liberal subjects. Bui argues that the collapse of South Vietnam under Vietnamization complicates the already difficult memory of the Vietnam War, pushing for a critical understanding of South Vietnamese agency beyond their status as the war’s ultimate “losers.” Examining the lasting impact of Cold War military policy and culture upon the “Vietnamized” afterlife of war, this book weaves questions of national identity, sovereignty, and self-determination to consider the generative possibilities of theorizing South Vietnam as an incomplete, ongoing search for political and personal freedom.

Book excerpt: For half a century (ever since the Japanese invasion of 1942), much of Southeast Asia has been racked by war. In the last 20 years alone, some three million people fled their homes in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. This book is their story. It is also the story of the international community's response. Spearheading this was the United Nations agency responsible, UNHCR. It pioneered innovations like the Orderly Departure Programme, anti-piracy and rescue-at-sea efforts, and later on, ambitious reintegration projects for returnees. Today the camps in Southeast Asia are closed. Half a million people have returned home. Over two million have started new lives in the United States, Canada, Australia and France. This compelling book is the history of this modern exodus. It also takes stock and poses important questions. How did the flight of refugees and international response evolve? How do we measure the achievements and the failures of that international effort? What has been the legacy in Asia itself? And what lessons can be drawn for use in other refugee situations around the world?

Download or read book In Camps written by Jana K. Lipman and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the US war in Vietnam, close to 800,000 Vietnamese left the country by boat, survived, and sought refuge throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This is the story of what happened in the camps. In Camps raises key questions that remain all too relevant today: Who is a refugee? Who determines this status? And how does it change over time? From Guam to Malaysia and the Philippines to Hong Kong, In Camps is the first major work on Vietnamese refugee policy to pay close attention to host territories and to explore Vietnamese activism in the camps and the diaspora. This book explains how Vietnamese were transformed from de facto refugees to individual asylum seekers to repatriates. Ambitiously covering people on the ground—local governments, teachers, and corrections officers—as well as powerful players such as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the US government, Jana Lipman shows that the local politics of first asylum sites often drove international refugee policy. Unsettling most accounts of Southeast Asian migration to the US, In Camps instead emphasizes the contingencies inherent in refugee policy and experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring true story of familial love and triumph through adversity follows a father and daughter separated by war in Vietnam. In 1970, near the end of the Vietnam War, Thuhang Tran was born in Saigon. She contracted polio as a baby, and though her family sacrificed much to seek treatment, their efforts were halted by Saigon’s fall. Her father, Chinh Tran, an air traffic controller in the South Vietnam Air Force, was lost during the evacuations and presumed dead. This powerful memoir follows both father and daughter through their respective struggles, from Thuhang's battle with polio and the impact of her father's absence, to Chinh's immigration to the United States and his desperate 15-year mission to be reunited with his family. Through all the seemingly impossible hurdles she’s faced, Thuhang has remained hopeful and resilient. Now she tells her incredible story, inspiring those around her to find strength through perseverance.
