This volume of essays on migration was written primarily by graduate students in the social sciences. The authors, natives of six different countries, discuss population displacement by emphasizing these four themes: (1) the alienation of refugees; (2) the interplay between hosts and newcomers; (3) the consequences of the growth of agencies that deal with refugees; and (4) the processes of uprooting and readjustment. Following an introduction on "Migrants and Their Hosts" (E. Colson), the book contains the following chapters: (1) A Case Study in International Refugee Policy: Lowland Lao Refugees (M. Lacey); (2) Living in a State of Limbo: A Case Study of Vietnamese Refugees in Hong Kong Camps (G. Bousquet); (3) Keeping Refugee Status: A Tibetan Perspective (D. M. De Voe); (4) Refugees and the Structure of Opportunity: Transitional Adjustments to Aid among U.S. Resettled Lao Iu Mien, 1980-1985 (J. Habarad); (5) Control of Contrast: Lao-Hmong Refugees in American Contexts (L. Schein); (6) Dealing with Frustration: A Study of Interactions between Resettlement Staff and Refugees (S. Gold); (7) Transformations in Perception of Self and Social Environment in Mexican Immigrants (M. Suarez-Orozco); (8) Assimilation Patterns of Koreans in the United States (E. Kim); (9) Rusticating Chinese Educated Youth: Adaptation Processes (W. Chao); (10) Transmigration Policies in Indonesia: Government Aims and Popular Response (O.
