This text introduces students to the main groups of refugees in America. Divided into political, sociological, anthropological, and historical approaches, the book discusses the peoples themselves as well as their impact on American society. Refugees are a special category of people who are admitted to this country for humanitarian reasons, have suffered greatly before getting here, and are resettled through an impressive combination of public and private resources. This book traces each group through the process and assesses their future prospects.
David W. Haines, who has a PhD in social anthropology, has taught at the undergraduate and graduate level and has served as a research and policy analyst for the federal refugee program. He is the editor of Refugees in the United States (Greenwood, 1985), Refugees as Immigrants: Cambodians, Laotians, and Vietnamese in America (1989) and Refugees in America in the 1990s (Greenwood, 1996). He is currently a senior manager in state government and an advisory board member to the refugee and immigration services program of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond.
