Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnamese refugees fleeing the fall of South Vietnam faced a paradox. The same guilt-ridden America that only reluctantly accepted them expected, and rewarded, expressions of gratitude for their rescue. Meanwhile, their status as refugees ”as opposed to willing immigrants ”profoundly influenced their cultural identity. Phuong Tran Nguyen examines the phenomenon of refugee nationalism among Vietnamese Americans in Southern California. Here, the residents of Little Saigon keep alive nostalgia for the old regime and, by extension, their claim to a lost statehood. Their refugee nationalism is less a refusal to assimilate than a mode of becoming, in essence, a distinct group of refugee Americans. Nguyen examines the factors that encouraged them to adopt this identity. His analysis also moves beyond the familiar rescue narrative to chart the intimate yet contentious relationship these Vietnamese Americans have with their adopted homeland. Nguyen sets their plight within the context of the Cold War, an era when Americans sought to atone for broken promises but also saw themselves as providing a sanctuary for people everywhere fleeing communism.

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.
Download or read book Exodus Indochina written by Keith St. Cartmail and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the twentieth century exodus of refugees from VietNam, Kampuchea and Laos. Its objectives are to draw attention to the response of the world towards refugees, and to examine what has been and can be done to alleviate the refugee problem. The book is divided into three parts : the first mostly contains background material, the second describes the exodus from each country, and the third discusses the response of countries of asylum, resettlement countries, and the international community. A large amount of the information has been obtained from interviews conducted by the author with refugees and refugee personnel in South East Asian refugee camps. In addressing the question of what can be done the author stresses that the human rights of every refugee must be held inviolably all governments, and he recommends that: 1) resettlement countries make every effort to accept the full extent of their quotas; 2) all South East Asian countries give asylum to refugees and observe the principle of protection; 3) international assistance be provided to and accepted by countries of asylum; 4) the UNHCR ensure that the principles of asylum and non-refoulement are observed; 5) Vietnamese officials observe the principle of safe and orderly departure and not impede the exodus of people wanting to leave; and, 6) international agreements be revised in order to ensure the refugees' right to asylum and the UN's humanitarian right of access to aid all refugees. Finally, the author suggests that international refugee assistance is badly coordinated and he calls for a world conference on refugees and an International Refugee Year.
