Abstract
  • This study employed ethnographic methodology to investigate and record the post-camp, pre-assimilation period of Laotian refugees.The primary goal was to document the special problems and experiences of the Laotian population as they attempted to adjust to new roles and expectations within mainstream North American society.Oral histories and biographical statements focused on the perceptions and observations of the members of the refugee population as they arrived and interacted with American culture.Data gathered during fieldwork were analyzed within a framework of selected educational and anthropological theories.Fieldwork within the Laotian refugee community during its post-camp interfacing with North American culture generated conclusions and recommendations which focused on and related to the entire spectrum of human activity. Particular emphasis was placed on Laotian and American cultural structures as well as on the psychological and cultural difficulties and challenges each population encountered during the first stages of assimilation or acculturation. This study was conducted with heavy emphasis on participant observation and analyzed within the anthropological tradition of reflexivity.
