a brief history

The excerpt available below, from “Straddling Two Social Worlds: The Experience of Vietnamese Refugee Children in the United States,” a research monograph by Min Zhou, Ph.D. and Carl L. Bankston III, Ph.D., provides a historical overview of the Vietnamese American community.

The excerpt emphasizes the population’s displacement from Vietnam and resettlement in the United States and also includes a brief history of the Vietnam War, its resulting refugee exodus, and the arrival of the Vietnamese in the United States.
