The Amerasians.
Ranard, Donald A.; Gilzow, Douglas F.
In America: Perspectives on Refugee Resettlement, n4 Jun 1989
Articles in this newsletter issue examine the experiences, strengths, and problems that Amerasian refugees from Vietnam have had while living in the United States. Topics of discussion include discrimination, educational difficulties, resettlement experiences, and cultural difficulties. The concept of cluster site resettlement, a possible solution to helping Amerasians meet their specific needs by helping them identify with each other and offer mutual support, is examined. Additionally, a statistical breakdown is given of the size of the Amerasian population, their location, their educational background, and their marital status. Finally, the issue of reuniting Amerasians who have arrived from Vietnam with their real fathers is discussed, focusing on the complications inherent in this type of search process. (GLR)
