商品簡介
Suggesting that the bulk of the literature on Vietnamese refugee migration promotes an overly simplistic narrative--"refugees from Asia pass through Asian asylum centers briefly and then settle in the West"--that misses many of the Asian contexts of the refugee phenomenon, including the settlement of refugees in Asia, inter-ethnic group dynamics among the refugees, experiences of refugee camp life, different home-diaspora dynamics, and linkages between the refugee disapora and continuing Vietnamese migration trajectories, Chan (Asian and International Studies, City U. of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR of China), presents a collection of 12 essays exploring these and other issues. The collection has a particular focus on Hong Kong, as it is a good case showing the complexities of asylum-seeking and ethnicity, and particularly the differing experiences of ethnic-Chinese Vietnamese and ethnic Vietnamese.
