This book is a chronicle of the 1975 flight of Vietnamese from
their country. It traces the departure from Vietnam and the
resettlement of 130,000 of these refugees in the United States and
focuses on the process by which Vietnamese went from refugees to
immigrants.
In late April 1975 the war that raged in Vietnam for decades came
to an end as the American-backed government of South Vietnam
collapsed. Out of the territories that had once been French
Indochina came over 200,000 Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese
refugees fleeing by plane, by boat, or on foot. Some left under
U.S. government auspices; others setout on their own. This book is
a chronicle of the 1975 flight of Vietnamese from their country. It
traces the departure from Vietnam and the resettlement of 130,000
of these refugees in the United States and focuses on the process
by which Vietnamese went from refugees to immigrants.
In 1983 the National Commission on Excellence in Education issued a
report calling for the total reassessment of policy and curriculum
governing American education. The commission's findings were met
with impassioned interest and volcanic debate. Seemingly overnight,
the "education crisis" became a battleground on which citizens,
education professionals and numerous organized groups fought for
America's children. Nowhere is this more evident than in the
compilation of essays contained in "Excellence in Education". Five
areas of investigation are focused upon in this comprehensive
volume: an overview of the debate occasioned by the report; a
consideration of the social, political, and economic content of the
report; how reform will affect policies initiated in the 60's and
70's; how reforms impact on curriculum, teacher preparation, and
student success; and the historical implications of past reform
movements in education.
