This book was released on 1988 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the organization and social life of firmly-established Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in various parts of Canada. Divided into nine chapters written by thirteen authors, the book focuses on community development issues. Various settings are described: Large national or regional metropolises (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg); middle-sized cities (Quebec, Victoria); and small towns (Lethbridge, Moncton). All regions of Canada are covered except the northern territories. In presenting basic background information on the history and community organization of the Vietnamese, Kampucheans and/or Laotians living in various Canadian cities, each chapter also underlines some specific aspects of their social and community life. The first chapter, the only non-case study, brings together commonalities of Indo-Chinese Canadian social organization from the growing literature. Merging this information with that drawn from the social organization of other immigrant groups, the author, N. Buchignani of the University of Lethbridge, develops a basic model of contemporary Indo-Chinese family and community organization. In the studies of the eight Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in the subsequent chapters, common social and cultural tendencies are apparent, such as the primary role of the family and the social support role of the ethnic community.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Canadian Asian Studies Association (CASA) is pleased that this richly documented update of the state of our knowledge of Southeast Asian refugees in Canada is being launched. It is a timely sequel to the original (and highly successful) Southeast Asian Exodus: From Tradition to Resettlement (ed. Elliott Tepper, 1980), a pioneering study of the Indo-Chiense "problem" in Canada. The present volume represents the culmination and drawing together of some of the best research which has grown so abundantly over the past five years. Taken together, these two volumes provide a firm foundation for a truly longitudinal resettlement study, which can potentially be built upon as far into the future as research interests, energies and funds permit. Collectively, the topics (chapters) in this volume provide a fairly full coverage of the principal problems of Indo-Chinese adaptation in Canada, from the "bottom-line" and often hard facts of occupational and economic adjustment to the more subtle and sensitive questions of language learning, social and psychological needs. Doreen Indra's introduction supplies a comprehensive and impressive overview of the entire Southeast Asian refugee situation in Canada, and this is complemented by one of the moost complete bibliographies on the subject yet compiled in this country." -- Preface

Download or read book Refugees as Immigrants written by David W. Haines and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 224 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent immigrants and refugees — both children and their families — often struggle to adapt to Canadian education systems. For their part, educators also face challenges when developing effective strategies to help these students make smooth transitions to their new country. In Immigrant and Refugee Students in Canada, researchers join educators and social workers to provide a thorough and wide-ranging analysis of the issues at the preschool, elementary, secondary and post-secondary levels. By understanding these issues within the unique Canadian context, educators can work more effectively with newcomers trying to find their way. This book pursues three lines of inquiry: What are the main challenges that immigrant and refugee children and families face in the Canadian education system? What are the common aspects of successful intervention? What can we learn from the narratives of researchers, educators, social workers, and other frontline workers who work with immigrant and refugee families?

Neuwirth and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a report on a three-year study of the social and economic adaptation of Indo-Chinese refugees to life in Canada. It was conducted by the Department of Employment and Immigration between 1981 and 1983, by means of written questionnaires returned by 4500 refugees. The report consists of eleven sections: 1) introduction; 2) methodology; 3) social and demographic characteristics of the refugees; 4) privately-sponsored refugees and their perceptions; 5) effectiveness of private sponsorship on economic adaptation of refugees; 6) participation of refugees in the job market; 7) incomes; 8) refugees and government services; 9) social adaptation; 10) analysis of data; and 11) policy recommendations. During 1979 and 1980, Canada accepted 60,000 refugees from Viet Nam, Laos and Kampuchea, of whom half were privately sponsored. The study found that: a) the refugees had little formal education compared with native-born Canadians or other recent immigrants; b) less than half the privately-sponsored refugees rated their sponsors as very helpful; and c) after three months, nearly half the respondents were employed although their average incomes were lower than those of Canadians. The authors' recommendations included: a new approach to language training; enrolment of refugees for retraining courses as soon as possible and with government assistance; the establishment of an emergency fund for private sponsors; and, recognition of the ethnic and cultural differences among Indo-Chinese refugees.
