Health Perceptions And Practices Of Burmese Refugee Families: A Participatory Mixed Method Study, Suneeta Kercood, Trish Morita-Mullaney
Health Perceptions And Practices Of Burmese Refugee Families: A Participatory Mixed Method Study, Suneeta Kercood, Trish Morita-Mullaney
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
Healthcare providers in the United States often view the lifestyle choices made by refugees from Burma through the lenses of America’s norms for healthy living. Although healthcare providers often recognize the role that language plays in the refugees’ ability to communicate their healthcare needs, they often ignore the role of culture. This lack of understanding of cultural difference contributes to the marginalization of refugees in the healthcare system. Using a transformative mixed method methodology, this study employed the East Asian Acculturation Scale (EAAM) to identify participants’ perceived level of acculturation within health care contexts. The researchers then engaged participants in …
Mother's Song, Tony Innouvong
Mother's Song, Tony Innouvong
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
An ode to the Lao refugee experience, "Mother's Song" celebrates the resilient struggle of those displaced by the war in Laos. Like many Lao people, Tony's mother and family desperately fled Laos during the 1970s for refuge in Thai refugee camps. She and her family would later emigrate to the US where they were challenged with building a new life on new land.
Making My Path By Walking: Using Community Based Participatory Research In Vietnamese American Studies, Loan T. Dao
Making My Path By Walking: Using Community Based Participatory Research In Vietnamese American Studies, Loan T. Dao
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This paper outlines my Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) process as a pedagogical pathway: the creation of community-based curricula, of developing relationships with community partners, and the complexities I grappled with as a new Vietnamese American scholar at a university next to a large co-ethnic enclave. Specifically, I reflect on the partnership between my Vietnamese American Studies courses and a local elementary school with a high percentage of newly immigrated students from Viet Nam. We engaged in oral history interviews, classroom visits, the production of bilingual children’s books, and English language tutoring to build inter-generational bridges. Through this reflective process, I …
Expanding Definitions Of Family: Influences On Second-Generation Lao American College Students’ Aspirations, Malaphone Phommasa
Expanding Definitions Of Family: Influences On Second-Generation Lao American College Students’ Aspirations, Malaphone Phommasa
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This research examines familial influences on the educational and occupational aspirations of second-generation Lao American college students. In-depth, individual interviews were conducted with 10 Lao American college students. Findings from this study illustrate the value of familial relationships in students’ educational experiences and how these relationships are perceived to have considerable influence on students’ aspirations. Consistent with previous studies on aspiration development, the data suggests that Lao parents are highly influential on students’ aspirations. However, Lao American students also placed high value on the advice of extended family members, almost to the point where their influence appeared indistinguishable from parents. …
Visualizing Social Influences On Filipino American And Southeast Asian American College Choice, Kristen Surla, Oiyan A. Poon
Visualizing Social Influences On Filipino American And Southeast Asian American College Choice, Kristen Surla, Oiyan A. Poon
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This study identifies and explores social influences on the college choice process of Filipino American and Southeast Asian American high school seniors in an urban Midwestern setting. In an effort to contribute more depth to the knowledge regarding college choice among Filipino Americans and Southeast Asian Americans, this study engaged seven high school seniors in a photo elicitation study, allowing the students to tell their own stories of their pathways to college. Photos and follow-up interviews indicated that the students explicitly acknowledged kinship and peer networks as playing the most influential roles in the college choice process. Gender differences were …
Supporting Southeast Asian American Family And Community Engagement For Educational Success, Phitsamay S. Uy
Supporting Southeast Asian American Family And Community Engagement For Educational Success, Phitsamay S. Uy
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
Over the past 40 years, the U.S. has accepted over 2.5 million refugee and immigrants from Southeast Asian (SEA) countries of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Unfortunately after 4 decades of resettlement and assimilation, the SEA community has the lowest levels of educational attainment when compared to other Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Only 34.3% of Laotian, 38.5% of Cambodian, and 39.6% of Hmong adults over the age of 25 do not have a high school diploma or equivalent. Moreover, 65.8% of Cambodian, 66.5% of Laotian, 63.2% of Hmong, and 51.1% of Vietnamese Americans have not attended college (SEARAC, 2011).
Hmong Culture Club As A Place Of Belonging: The Cultivation Of Hmong Students’ Cultural And Political Identities, Bic Ngo
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
In this article, I draw on a year-long ethnographic study of an after school “Hmong Culture Club” to illuminate the ways in which it provides students with a place of belonging. I reveal the ways in which Hmong students in this setting take up ideologies of multiculturalism in response to a sense of the “loss” of Hmong culture. I explore the ways in which the Hmong Club provided Hmong students with a place to belong that simultaneously cultivated their cultural and political identities. Ultimately, I suggest that school extracurricular cultural clubs may provide insights to subtractive schooling (Valenzuela, 1999) as …

Special Issue Editors’ Introduction, Vichet Chhuon, Anthony Lising Antonio
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, which led to a mass exodus of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Lao, and Hmong refugees from Southeast Asia. Many of these individuals eventually settled in the United States. This special issue of the Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement (JSAAEA) focuses primarily on the education of the children of these refugees. We are pleased to feature some of the best new research and thinking that aims to improve the education of the “new second generation” (Portes & Rumbaut, 2006) of Southeast Asian American students.
Articulating Refug-Endity In Vietnamerica And The Diasporas 1975-2015: From Ethnic Autonomy To Global Visibility, Trangdai Glassey-Tranguyen
Articulating Refug-Endity In Vietnamerica And The Diasporas 1975-2015: From Ethnic Autonomy To Global Visibility, Trangdai Glassey-Tranguyen
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
Since the culmination of the Vietnam War on April 30th, 1975, waves of Vietnamese evacuees, refugees, and immigrants arrived in the United States and created a new home across the country. Orange County, California, is home to the largest concentration of Vietnamese Americans since 1975 in the U.S., and has notoriously been known as the “Vietnamese refugee capitol” in the diasporas. I argue that there has been an organic, thriving – albeit very under-studied – body of Vietnamese-language literature and media in Orange County and VietnAmerica since 1975, which provides a fertile ground for the articulation of what …
Vietnamese American Experiences Of English Language Learning: Ethnic Acceptance And Prejudice, Jeffrey Labelle
Vietnamese American Experiences Of English Language Learning: Ethnic Acceptance And Prejudice, Jeffrey Labelle
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This article investigates the effects of ethnic acceptance and prejudice on English language learning among immigrant nonnative speakers. During 2004 and 2005, the author conducted participatory dialogues among six Vietnamese and Mexican adult immigrant English language learners. The researcher sought to answer five questions: (1) What are some nonnative English speakers’ experience regarding the way native speakers treat them? (2) How have nonnative English speakers’ experiences of ethnic acceptance or ethnic prejudice affected their learning of English? (3) What do nonnative English speakers think they need in order to lower their anxiety as they learn a new language? (4) What …

[Special Issue On Sea Demographics] Response - Language Policy: Using The American Community Survey To Investigate Bilingualism And Biliteracy Among Immigrant Communities, Gerda De Klerk, Terrence G. Wiley
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This article is a response to Mark Pfeifers Cambodian, Hmong, Lao and Vietnamese Americans in the 2005 American Community Survey and elaborates on the utility of the American Community Survey (ACS) for studying immigrant groups in the United States of America, and also compares the ACS to the U.S. Census. Neither the Census nor ACS questionnaire is structured to capture the language and literacy skills of immigrant communities in as far as these surveys only collect information about respondents oral language abilities, with a focus on English fluency. Direct, self-reported, and surrogate measures of literacy are discussed, with a proposal …
Hmong Parents Critical Reflections On Their Childrens Heritage Language Maintenance, Terry Yang
Hmong Parents Critical Reflections On Their Childrens Heritage Language Maintenance, Terry Yang
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This study utilizes a qualitative method to explore the critical reflections of Hmong parents helping their children maintain their native language. Specifically, it examines parents thoughts, feelings and experiences related to Hmong language maintenance. Findings reveal that Hmong parents worry about their children losing their ability to speak their native language. They believe that maintaining the Hmong language provides advantages in achieving academic success, attaining careers, and continuing to serve as role models in the community. Parents stressed the need to use Hmong at home in order to help their children develop and maintain the language. They reported some successes …

[Special Issue On Hmong Newcomers To Saint Paul Public Schools] The Affective Consequences Of Cultural Capital: Feelings Of Powerlessness, Gratitude, And Faith Among Hmong Refugee Parents, Bic Ngo
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
In education research, the analysis of the role of cultural capital has focused primarily on its role in parent involvement. Little attention has been paid to how cultural capital affects the attitudes or feelings of parents about their worth and roles as parents. In this article I examine the impact of the exclusionary characteristic of cultural capital on refugee Hmong parents from Wat Tham Krabok. I highlight themes of uncertainty, powerlessness, gratitude and faith that parents repeatedly raised when speaking about their childrens education. I suggest that paying attention to the affectiveemotionalconsequences of cultural capital is critical for understanding the …
[Special Issue On Hmong Newcomers To Saint Paul Public Schools] Are We There Yet? Examining The Principals Role In The Integration Of Hmong Refugee Children Into Elementary Schools, Kyla Wahlstrom
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
This paper examines the efforts of four elementary principals to create a welcoming and integrated culture for newly arrived Wat Tham Krabok refugee Hmong children. It reveals the accommodations and challenges made by the schools. It demonstrates that the effectiveness of a specialized program for newcomer refugee children necessitates careful planning and the involvement of staff members and school leaders.

[Special Issue On Hmong Newcomers To Saint Paul Public Schools] Supporting Hmong Newcomers Academic And Social Transition To Elementary School, Martha Bigelow, Letitia Basford, Esther Smidt
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
When elementary aged Hmong children were resettled in St. Paul Public Schools after the closing of the Wat Tham Krabok refugee camp in Thailand, their families largely enrolled them in either a Transitional Language Center or a Language Academy program. This study reports on the perceptions teachers and educational assistants had about how well these programs met the needs of this unique population of newcomers. Findings show that the Transitional Language Centers were better able to ease the adjustment to school for the Hmong newcomers because of the safe, bilingual environment they created.
Heritage Language Maintenance And Use Among 1.5 Generation Khmer College Students, Ravy S. Lao, Jin Sook Lee
Heritage Language Maintenance And Use Among 1.5 Generation Khmer College Students, Ravy S. Lao, Jin Sook Lee
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
Most studies of heritage language maintenance have reported a steep attrition in heritage language use among the 1.5 and 2nd generation children of immigrants, in particular among East Asian groups. However, not much is known about the role of heritage languages and the patterns of language maintenance within refugee communities. This study focuses on heritage language use and maintenance among 1.5 generation Khmer college students. The findings show that Khmer students report a high frequency of heritage language use within the home with their parents as well as outside of the home with their co-ethnic peers. The data reveal that …
"Shes American Now, I Dont Like That": Gendered Language Ideologies In A Laotian American Community, Daryl Gordon
"Shes American Now, I Dont Like That": Gendered Language Ideologies In A Laotian American Community, Daryl Gordon
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
As gender identities have shifted within the Laotian American community, perceptions of English proficiency have emerged as a site in which complex ideologies about gender identity are explored and contested. While Laotian women experience expanded opportunities for enacting their gender identities through wage labor and access to education, Laotian men experience a narrowing of opportunities, having lost traditional sources of power such as land ownership and high status professions. Laotian mens enactment of a discourse of nostalgia and the development of language ideologies, specifically the belief that they are more proficient English speakers than women, play an important part in …
Lost In Institution: Learning To Write In Midwestern Urban Mainstream Classrooms, Yanan Fan
Lost In Institution: Learning To Write In Midwestern Urban Mainstream Classrooms, Yanan Fan
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
How do recent immigrant students learn to write in mainstream content area classrooms? This article considers this question in the under-investigated American Midwest contexts where schooling is being reframed by rapid changing demographics. Data for this paper come from an ethnographic case study of second language learning of a Vietnamese 9th grader in an urban school setting. Grounded in a sociocultural view of learning, the author examines (1) how the student negotiated the nature and purpose of writing among inconsistent expectations, objectives and responsibilities in mainstream, and (2) how she was lost in a lack of vision in literacy and …

A Qualitative Study Of The Long Term Impact Of Welfare Reform On Cambodian American Families, Karen Quintiliani
A Qualitative Study Of The Long Term Impact Of Welfare Reform On Cambodian American Families, Karen Quintiliani
Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement
Many Cambodian American families have struggled on the economic margins since their arrival to the U.S. in the 1980s. To raise families in poverty Cambodians created family survival strategies to buffer themselves against economic uncertainty and the vagaries of the social welfare system. They combine public assistance with formal and informal work activities of household members, including teenagers and young adults, to survive. With the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 or Welfare Reform, Cambodians lost vital economic resources. Based upon a longitudinal qualitative study from 1998-2007, this article looks back on how first generation …
