Produktbeschreibung

Over three decades have passed since the first wave of Indochinese refugees left their homelands in search of a better life elsewhere. By investigating the Vietnamese diaspora in Asia, and in particular in Hong Kong, this book sheds new light on refugee settlement and different patterns of host-guest interactions which will have implications for refugee studies elsewhere.
