Over three decades have passed since the first wave of Indochinese refugees left their homelands. These refugees, mainly the Vietnamese, fled from war and strife in search of a better life elsewhere. By investigating the Vietnamese diaspora in Asia, this book sheds new light on the Asian refugee era (1975-1991), refugee settlement and different patterns of host-guest interactions that will have implications for refugee studies elsewhere. The book provides:

  • a clearer historical understanding of the group dynamics among refugees - the ethnic Chinese 'Vietnamese refugees' from both the North and South as well as the northern 'Vietnamese refugees'
  • an examination of different aspects of migration including: planning for migration, choices of migration route, and reasons for migration
  • an analysis of the ethnic and refugee politics during the refugee era, the settlement and subsequent resettlement.
  • This book will be of interest to students and scholars of globalization, migration, ethnicities, refugee histories and politics.
