Description
This examination of conditions preceding recent refugee migrations to the United States reveals underlying connections between US foreign and domestic policies, by exploring issues of immigration and resettlement in the US and human rights concerns abroad. The book focuses on Cuban, Indo-Chinese, Ethiopian, Eritrean and Iranian exile communities in the United States. It analyzes the origins of these large groups of exiles, their treatment under US policy, their social and economic adaptation and the factors that influence their decisions to return home.
