About this title

Synopsis

A study of the educational success of children from Southeast Asian refugee families in the United States. This study is probing and eminently readable. Analysis is united with the personal experiences of the refugees, who speak movingly for themselves. The book is valuable on several levels--as a concise, holistic view of the refugee experience, as a compelling argument for the importance of family and culture as foundations for educational success, and as a provocative comment on the state of American education. It provides insight into the nature and characteristics of many of America's newest citizens and, as such, further illuminates a primary element in the fabric of American society.
