Abstract:

This edition updates the 1985 title, Refugees in the United States: A Reference Handbook.  Part one of this handbook discusses refugee resettlement in the United States generally, with a review of government policy, programs and process.  It also explores the overall experiences of refugees who are resettled in the U.S. in terms of what they bring with them, what they find after they arrive, the challenges they encounter, and how they learn to adapt.  The second part then focuses on different groups of refugees, with separate chapters on Afghans, Chinese from Southeast Asia, Cubans, Eastern Europeans, Ethiopians and Eritreans, Haitians, Hmong, Iranians, Khmer, Lao, Soviet Jews, and Vietnamese.  The final part is entitled "comparative material," and includes chapters on the historical aspects of refugee resettlement in the U.S., public reaction to refugee resettlement, international aspects of the refugee issue, an overview of documentary films, and an annotated bibliography (see separate entry).
