On May 3, 1975, Hong Kong received its first cohort of 3,743 Vietnamese boatpeople. The incident opened a 25-year history that belongs to a larger context of forced migration in modern social history. By researching all possible textual material available, the book provides a comprehensive review of the collective history of the Vietnamese boatpeople. Moreover, it intertwines historical archives with personal drawings created by the Vietnamese living in Hong Kong detention camps, recapping a collective memory with its human face. By interpreting and analyzing these drawings, the author demonstrates the expressive and communicative power of imagery as a form of language, and illustrates how art can tell a personal tragic story when language fails. She unfolds the stories and artworks throughout the whole book with the hope that new insights and meanings can be attained through the conscious review and re-interpretation of the past.

This is a detailed study of the communal life of Vietnamese in refugee camps in the Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan. The author visited Bataan Processing Center, Palawan, Kai Tak North, Gose and Himeji camps over a period of 28 days in April-May 1982. The object was to discover how the camp stay might affect later adjustment in Norway. The author stresses that his analysis is based on refugees' own perceptions of their camp experience. Each camp was evaluated and compared with regard to planning and establishment; location and climate; housing and sanitary conditions; mental and physical health; turnover and length of stay; camp management and organization; camp objectives; collective living, and other aspects. The author discusses the special nature of life in a transit camp, a psychologically painful experience. Because their attention is focused upon the possibility of imminent departure, refugees avoid strong emotional ties. Nonetheless, the moment of departure remains difficult, since they are anxious about the future, asserts the author. In all the camps there are problems of alcohol misuse, family violence, insomnia, loneliness and depression. The author emphasizes that transfers from camp to camp should be avoided if at all possible, because refugees are forced to re-negotiate the same ambiguous adjustment. The author concludes by discussing improvements to be made in preparing the refugees for resettlement and in reception and resettlement procedures in Norway. Bibliography, appendix, photographs.

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.

This extensive survey of migration in the modern world begins in the sixteenth century with the establishment of European colonies overseas, and covers the history of migration to the late twentieth century, when global communications and transport systems stimulated immense and complex flows of labour migrants and skilled professionals. In ninety-five contributions, leading scholars from twenty-seven different countries consider a wide variety of issues including migration patterns, the flights of refugees and illegal migration. Each entry is a substantive essay, supported by up-to-date bibliographies, tables, plates, maps and figures. As the most wide-ranging coverage of migration in a single volume, The Cambridge Survey of World Migration will be an indispensable reference tool for scholars and students in the field.
