| Title |
Resettlement of Vietnamese-Chinese Refugees in Montreal, Canada: Some Socio-Psychological Problems and Dilemmas
|
| Abstract |
The authors analyze data collected during phase three of their four-phase longitudinal study of adaptation of Indochinese refugees in Montreal between 1975 and 1981. Three areas were identified for the third phase of their study: stress in sponsor-refugee relations, dreams, and refugees’ preoccupation with the past. The sponsor-refugee relations were conceptualized as a master-dependent relation underlined by a status difference and a cognitive gap which an affective bond could not bridge. The authors analysis of dreams and routine thought processes of the refugees revealed a recurring theme: an obsessive mental concern with separation from family members, and a strong wish for family reunification. Their mourning over what was lost or left behind in Vietnam seemed to have interfered with their adaption to life in Canada.
