dc.description.abstract | Over one-half million Indochinese refugees have come to this country since the downfall of the American-supported Republic of Vietnam in April 1975. The majority are Vietnamese, with smaller numbers of Cambodians (Khmer), lowland Laotians (ethnic Lao), and highland Laotians (mostly Hmong). In addition to being ethnically diverse, these people come from widely varying lifestyles which range from educated urbanites to rural farmers. They bring a variety of resources and problems to their adjustment to the United States. Since their initial migration, subsequent resettlement has occurred as the refugees have been attracted by better employment and social service opportunities, have sought to reunite families, or have been drawn to ethnic enclaves. As a result, the population and attendant responsibility for refugees has been spread throughout the United States, bringing a considerable number to Kansas. This report serves as an introduction to the Indochinese refugee issue and relevant materials. The focus is on the national level with attention drawn to issues of interest specifically in Kansas. Recommendations are given on areas of interest for research at the state level. | en_US |
