More than a quarter of a century has passed since the first
Southeast Asian refugees arrived in this country, but because of
their age and formidable language barriers, many elders have
difficulty making their voices heard. Language barriers, family
privacy, and social isolation have made it almost impossible for
their experiences to be shared outside the family and community.
Elder Voices helps to understand the family life of Vietnamese,
Cambodian, Lao, and Hmong refugees from the perspective of the
oldest generation. Their stories are composed of complex family
narratives that help us understand the ways in which migration and
resettlement processes are experienced. The forty life histories of
Southeast Asian elders gathered for this study collectively reveal
personal perspectives on new immigrant family adaptation to
American life at the end of the twentieth century. This volume is a
great resource for anyone interested in Southeast Asian families in
America.
