Between Two Worlds: Refugee Youth.
Ranard, Donald A.
In America: Perspectives on Refugee Settlement, n2 Jan 1989
A study was conducted concerning how Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, and Hmong refugees between the ages of 15 and 18 have faced the difficulties of adjusting to life in the United States. The study looked at some of the reasons behind the difficulties these youth experience, as well as their success at school, within the family, and in society. Among the conclusions drawn was the prediction that the future would be bright for most refugee youth. Concerns, however, were raised about a significant minority of at-risk youth whose failures have been obscured by the achievements of their more successful peers. Topics highlighted in this newsletter issue include: "Study Documents Success and Problems" and "The 1.5 Generation." (GLR)
