The integration of Vietnamese refugees in London and the UK: Fragmentation, complexity, and 'in/visibility'

Tamsin Barber

No wp-2018-2, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: The Vietnamese refugee experience in the UK has been characteristically different from the broader international flows of Vietnamese 'boat people' to the West. With no pre-existing Vietnamese community in the UK, largely composed of the rural poor from northern Vietnam, this numerically small community has remained largely invisible in British society.
