Reports on five years of research on the Indochinese Boat People. The cultural values, family milieu, and psychological characteristics that account for the successes of the Boat People in the US are examined. Extensive quotations from the refugees themselves provide personal insights into their backgrounds and resettlement experiences, and add an important anthropological dimension to the study.
