Download or read book Role Status Changes and Family Planning Use Among Cambodian Refugee Women written by Judith Celene Kulig and published by Ann Arbor, Mich. : University Microfilms International. This book was released on 1991 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral dissertation is based on an ethnographic study that examined Cambodian refugee women's role and status changes after resettlement and how such changes are related to their family planning use. The study is based on 18 months of observation within a Cambodian community in Northern California. The first chapter introduces the research focus, the group under study, the assumptions and the purpose of the research. Chapter II presents an overview of the literature on the Cambodian traditional health care system including Buddhism, the folk religion, and traditional family planning methods. Also included is the available literature that describes Cambodian women before, during and after the war years. Chapter III continues the literature analysis and focuses on modernization and its relationship to women's fertility behaviour, women's roles and the changes in these roles after migration. Chapter IV emphasizes the need for theory development in community health nursing through the expansion of the person, environment, and transition domains. Chapter V discusses ethnography as a research methodology and outlines the specific steps of the research with reference to the use of feminism in the data analysis. Chapter VI presents the findings regarding Cambodian women's roles and status and the changes they have experienced since resettlement. Chapter VII examines sexuality information among Cambodians and their family planning use. The last chapter includes an overview of the findings and the implications for theory, practice and research. An extensive bibliography accompanies the text.
Download or read book Survivors written by Sucheng Chan and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2004-05-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this clear, comprehensive, and unflinching study, Sucheng Chan invites us to follow the saga of Cambodian refugees striving to distance themselves from a series of cataclysmic events in their homeland. Survivors tracks not only the Cambodians' fight for life lives but also their battle for self-definition in new American surroundings. Unparalleled in scope, Survivors begins with the Cambodians' experiences under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, following them through escape to refugee camps in Thailand and finally to the United States, where they try to build new lives in the wake of massive trauma. Their struggle becomes primarily economic as they continue to negotiate new cultures and deal with rapidly changing gender and intergenerational relations within their own families. Poverty, crime, and racial discrimination all have an impact on their experiences in America, and each is examined in depth. Although written as a history, this is a thoroughly multidisciplinary study, and Chan makes use of research from anthropology, sociology, psychology, medicine, social work, linguistics and education. She also captures the perspective of individual Cambodians. Drawing on interviews with more than fifty community leaders, a hundred government officials, and staff members in volunteer agencies, Survivors synthesizes the literature on Cambodian refugees, many of whom come from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. A major scholarly achievement, Survivors is unique in the Asian American canon for its memorable presentation of cutting-edge research and its interpretation of both sides of the immigration process.
Download or read book Braving a New World written by Marycarol Hopkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1996-10-21 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ethnography, based on a five-year field study, presents a holistic view of a nearly invisible ethnic minority in the urban Midwest, Cambodian refugees. Hopkins begins with a brief look at Cambodian history and the reign which led these farmers to flee their homeland, and then presents an intimate portrait of ordinary family life and also of Buddhist ceremonial life. The book details their struggles to adjust in the face of the many barriers presented by American urban life, such as poverty, dangerous neighborhoods, and unemployment, and also by the conflict between their particular needs and American institutions such as schools, health care, law, and even the agencies intended to help them.
Download or read book Reconstructing Lives Recapturing Meaning written by Linda A. Camino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconstructing Lives, Recapturing Meaning presents the first systematic investigation of refugees' loss of their old identities and their efforts to construct new ones. Edited by the Chair and Vice Chair of the Committee on Refugee Issues (CORI) of the American Anthropological Association, it critically examines the interplay between cultural, ethnic, and gender constructions among resettled refugee populations. Each chapter is grounded in anthropological theory and method, and the book's framework demonstrates the relationship between the dynamics of forced migration and the ways in which ethnic and gender identities are reinvented in new socio-cultural settings. Unanimous in their perception of boundary maintenance as central to identity formation, these essays allow readers to view refugee resettlement as a creative, experimental process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace after Genocide is the first comprehensive ethnography of Cambodian refugees, charting their struggle to transition from life in agrarian Cambodia to survival in post-industrial America, while maintaining their identities as Cambodians. The ethnography contrasts the lives of refugees who arrived in America after 1975, with their focus on Khmer traditions, values, and relations, with those of their children who, as descendants of the Khmer Rouge catastrophe, have struggled to become Americans in a society that defines them as different. The ethnography explores America’s mid-twentieth-century involvement in Southeast Asia and its enormous consequences on multiple generations of Khmer refugees.
