Exploratory Fieldwork on Latino Migrants and Indochinese Refugees. Refugees. RIIES Research Notes No. 1.
Bryce-Laporte, Roy S., Ed.; Couch, Stephen R., Ed.
This book presents six papers on Latino migrant workers and recent Indochinese refugees in the United States, most of which focus on problems of fieldwork. The book's three sections, "Migrant Workers,""Indochinese Refugees" and "Research Summaries and Reports," each contains two papers and an introduction. (1) "Rural Migratory Labor in California: Some Key Research Issues" (Nadine Robles and Richard Day) argues that research on migrant workers is made difficult by the workers' constant mobility, marginal status, and aversion to the "official world." (2) "Migrant Flows into an Urban-Industrial Center: Some Key Research Issues" (Rodolfo Alvarez) discusses the relationship of Latino migrant workers to human services organizations. (3) "Processing of Indochinese Refugees" (Joyce Bennett Justus) and (4) "Field Study Problems in a Refugee Camp: Community and Bureaucracy Compounded and Confounded" (Stanley F. Wiseman) describe problems encountered by data collectors while studying the group of Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees at Camp Pendleton, California. The fifth and sixth papers "Latino Adversity: Culture, Disease and Stress among Latin American Immigrants--A Summary" (Lucy Cohen) and (6) "Organizations Servicing Puerto Ricans and Virgin Islanders in New York City--A Report" (Carmen Allende) provide overviews of work which has been or is being carried out on special aspects of the immigration phenomenon. Notes on work in progress and on the contributors conclude the document. (KH)
