This book is concerned with the organization and social life of firmly-established Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in various parts of Canada. Divided into nine chapters written by thirteen authors, the book focuses on community development issues. Various settings are described: Large national or regional metropolises (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg); middle-sized cities (Quebec, Victoria); and small towns (Lethbridge, Moncton). All regions of Canada are covered except the northern territories. In presenting basic background information on the history and community organization of the Vietnamese, Kampucheans and/or Laotians living in various Canadian cities, each chapter also underlines some specific aspects of their social and community life. The first chapter, the only non-case study, brings together commonalities of Indo-Chinese Canadian social organization from the growing literature. Merging this information with that drawn from the social organization of other immigrant groups, the author, N. Buchignani of the University of Lethbridge, develops a basic model of contemporary Indo-Chinese family and community organization. In the studies of the eight Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in the subsequent chapters, common social and cultural tendencies are apparent, such as the primary role of the family and the social support role of the ethnic community.

"The Canadian Asian Studies Association (CASA) is pleased that this richly documented update of the state of our knowledge of Southeast Asian refugees in Canada is being launched. It is a timely sequel to the original (and highly successful) Southeast Asian Exodus: From Tradition to Resettlement (ed. Elliott Tepper, 1980), a pioneering study of the Indo-Chiense "problem" in Canada. The present volume represents the culmination and drawing together of some of the best research which has grown so abundantly over the past five years. Taken together, these two volumes provide a firm foundation for a truly longitudinal resettlement study, which can potentially be built upon as far into the future as research interests, energies and funds permit. Collectively, the topics (chapters) in this volume provide a fairly full coverage of the principal problems of Indo-Chinese adaptation in Canada, from the "bottom-line" and often hard facts of occupational and economic adjustment to the more subtle and sensitive questions of language learning, social and psychological needs. Doreen Indra's introduction supplies a comprehensive and impressive overview of the entire Southeast Asian refugee situation in Canada, and this is complemented by one of the moost complete bibliographies on the subject yet compiled in this country." -- Preface

Abraham Karpinowitz (1913–2004) was born in Vilna, Poland (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania), the city that serves as both the backdrop and the central character for his stories. He survived the Holocaust in the Soviet Union and, after two years in an internment camp on the island of Cyprus, moved to Israel, where he lived until his death. In this collection, Karpinowitz portrays, with compassion and intimacy, the dreams and struggles of the poor and disenfranchised Jews of his native city before the Holocaust. His stories provide an affectionate and vivid portrait of poor working women and men, like fishwives, cobblers, and barbers, and people who made their living outside the law, like thieves and prostitutes. This collection also includes two stories that function as intimate memoirs of Karpinowitz’s childhood growing up in his father’s Vilna Yiddish theater. Karpinowitz wrote his stories and memoirs in Yiddish, preserving the particular language of Vilna’s lower classes. In this graceful translation, Mintz deftly preserves this colorful, often idiomatic Yiddish, capturing Karpinowitz’s unique voice and rendering a long-vanished world for English-language readers.
