Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC. Language and Orientation Resource Center.
A handbook for those involved in Southeast Asian refugee assistance discusses some of the values and customs that refugee groups from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam may have in common and looks at the different countries and peoples of the region. A section on the shared values and customs of Indochinese refugees focuses on aspects of family life, religion, eating habits, education, and employment patterns. Subsequent sections on the three individual countries examine their geography and climate, history, national symbols, demography, family life, language, customs, traditions, and beliefs. Within each country, individual ethnic groups and their characteristics are described. (MSE)
