Indochinese refugee experiences from 1975 - 1983: preliminary biographical information.

Abstract

An investigation of the experiences of Indochinese refugees was undertaken, using primarily biographical material from ten Indochinese refugees. The preliminary information presented covers four areas: experience of civil war and communist victory; the actual process of becoming a refugee; life in the refugee camps; and life in the United States. Results indicating that the experiences of the refugees varied in these areas according to the country of origin and ethnic group are discussed.
