Book Synopsis PROBLEM OF VIETNAM BOAT PEOPLE IN HONG KONG by : Gutti Raja Mohan Rao
Download or read book PROBLEM OF VIETNAM BOAT PEOPLE IN HONG KONG written by Gutti Raja Mohan Rao and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the legacies of the unification of Vietnam under Communist leadership in 1976 was the problem of Vietnamese boat people. Tens of thousands of Vietnamese refugees fled the country in order to escape persecution and economic hardships. Since majority of them used small boats to flee the country to the neighbouring Southeast Asian Countries and Hong Kong, the Vietnamese refugees came to be called as 'boat people'. This dissertation is an attempt to analyse the problem of Vietnam boat people from 1975 to 1991 - that is from the birth of the boat people problem in the wake of American withdrawal from Vietnam in April 1975, to the conclusion of Paris Peace Accords on Cambodia in October 1991, which, among other things, facilitated Vietnam's "reintegration into the World Community" and the consequent growth of Vietnamese economy which in turn, it was fervently hoped, would not only induce the Vietnamese refugees to return to their native country but also discourage the Vietnamese from leaving the country.

This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Robert Ferrell Book Prize Honorable Mention 2021, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations Book Award for Outstanding Achievement in History Honorable Mention 2022, Association for Asian American Studies 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. This is the story of what happened in the camps. In Camps raises key questions that remain all too relevant today: Who is a refugee? Who determines this status? 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. 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 and the US government, Jana Lipman shows that the local politics of first asylum sites often drove international refugee policy. Unsettling most accounts of Southeast Asian migration to the US, In Camps instead emphasizes the contingencies inherent in refugee policy and experiences.

Book Synopsis In Search of Asylum by : Janelle M.. Diller
Download or read book In Search of Asylum written by Janelle M.. Diller and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an inquiry into the situation of Vietnamese asylum seekers in Hong Kong, and was made shortly after the announcement of the government in June 1988 to introduce procedures for the determination of their refugee status, in order that those who are recognized as refugees can be resettled, and those whose case are rejected can eventually be repatriated. The author analyzes the procedure in the early days and the difficulties inherent in establishing individual determination of refugee status for a caseload which for more than a decade has enjoyed group determination as refugees and benefitted from resettlement. She also discusses the involvement of UNHCR after the conclusion of a Statement of Understanding between the Office and the Hong Kong government in September 1988. Then the author describes the living conditions of the detention centres where Vietnamese who arrived after the change of policy are gathered: the conditions under which the persons are held violate international human rights law and national regulations. She then considers the most controversial issue of the refugee status determination process: the proposed return of rejected cases. She argues against repatriation or deportation of any asylum seekers because in the Vietnamese context it is impossible to make a distinction between refugees and those who leave for economic reasons. The author goes further on to say that because no one can return without fear of recrimination, even those who cannot establish a case in terms of Convention criteria should be considered as "non-Convention" refugees entitled to protection against “refoulement” under the mandate of UNHCR and should be given temporary refuge. The book ends with some recommendations relating to the procedure and repatriation.
Book Synopsis Boat People in Transit by : John Chr Knudsen
Download or read book Boat People in Transit written by John Chr Knudsen and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Voices of Vietnamese Boat People written by Mary Terrell Cargill and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 30, 1975, the Hanoi government of North Vietnam took control over the South. South Vietnamese, particularly "intellectuals" and those thought to have been associated with the previous regime, underwent terrible punishment, persecution and "re-education." Seeking their freedom, thousands of South Vietnamese took to the sea in rickety boats, often with few supplies, and faced the dangers of nature, pirates, and starvation. While the sea and its danger claimed many lives, those who made it to the refugee camps still faced struggle and hardships in their quest for freedom. Here are collected the narratives of nineteen men and women who survived the ordeal of escape by sea. Today, they live in the United States as students, professors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and craftspeople who have chosen to tell the stories of their struggles and their triumph. Each narrative is accompanied by biographical information. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
