In Camps, 1: Vietnamese Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Repatriates Lipman Jana K.
After the US war in Vietnam, close to 800,000 Vietnamese left the country by boat, survived, and sought refuge throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific. In Camps raises key questions that remain all too relevant today: Who is a refugee? This is the story of what happened in the camps.
And how does it change over time?From Guam to Malaysia and the Philippines to Hong Kong, In Camps is the first major work on Vietnamese refugee policy to pay close attention to host territories and to explore Vietnamese activism in the camps and the diaspora. Who determines this status? This book explains how Vietnamese were transformed from de facto refugees to individual asylum seekers to repatriates.
Ambitiously covering people on the ground--local governments, teachers, and corrections officers--as well as powerful players such as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
