Especially notable are the refugees from the Vietnam War and other immigrants from Southeast Asia: Lao, Khmer, Hmong, Thai, and others. In addition, political and economic changes in Asia have stimulated the migration of highly educated Asians and the flow of capital from their trans-Pacific homelands to the United States. The essays in this volume provide a framework for understanding the historical experiences of Asians in the United States, with emphasis on the years after World War II. |
