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.

Book excerpt: Alien Winds presents the first critical analysis of U.S. refugee processing centers in Southeast Asia. Based on twenty months of work in refugee camps from 1983-1986 and an analysis of documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, this book challenges the widely held view that the refugee education program results in successful resettlement. The author contends that in its zeal to Americanize Southeast Asians, this program seeks to replace ties to their traditional community with a commitment to the myths of American success ideology and the moral principle of self-sufficiency. He concludes that the program actually disempowers the refugees by robbing them of their sense of community, and often their dignity. Without regard to skills or education, it prepares refugees for long term employment in dead end minimum wage jobs. Of particular interest to teachers of English as a second language and scholars in the fields of education, sociology, anthropology, and Southeast Asian studies, Alien Winds concludes with recommendations for overseas centers and domestic resettlement programs. From its inception the U.S. refugee resettlement program faced difficult questions: What are the main difficulties facing Southeast Asians in the United States? What do refugees need to know in order to resettle successfully? How should successful resettlement be defined? Should there be different notions of success for different groups of people? What values do Americans share? Must newcomers adopt these values? Alien Winds examines the American answers to these questions as they are formulated and conveyed to the refugees. It also explores the sources of these answers. To this end it examines important assumptions about immigrants that originated in educational programs during the early part of this century. It further explores the aims and structures of the organizations which created and operate the processing centers. Finally, Alien Winds analyzes the role of the refugee program in America's shared memory of Vietnam.
