Reseña del editor
The years 1975 to 1996 were witness to the largest mass migration in modern history, with more than one million people leaving their war-torn homeland, Vietnam, in search of safety. Carina Hoang portrays just a handful of experiences of members of this new diaspora - the perilous sea journey, the time spent in their temporary island camps as refugees and their final journey to their new adopted homelands. It is a testimony to the human spirit.
Biografía del autor
At the age of sixteen, Carina Hoang left Vietnam with two younger siblings and four hundred strangers in a frail wooden boat and set off across the South China Sea. They survived the harrowing journey and the extreme challenges that followed in a primitive refugee camp, and ultimately were accepted for resettlement in the United States. Carina relocated to Western Australia with her Australian husband and daughter in 2006. In recent years she has assisted a number of Vietnames families to find the graves of relatives in several former refugee camps in Indonesia.

Softcover. Zustand: FINE. AUSTRALIANAThe years 1975 to 1996 were witness to the largest mass migration in modern history, when more than a million people left war-torn Vietnam by boat in search of safety. Nicknamed âBoat People,â the desperate families often did not survive the journey. Thousands perished when their boats fell apart en route, while others succumbed to starvation, dehydration, and cold-blooded attacks by Thai pirates.Editor Carina Hoangâ"a survivor of the Exodus and a Special Representative for Australia for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)â"has compiled a book of rich personal stories, of the perilous sea journey, the time spent in refugee camps, and the final journey to new adopted homelands. Boat People: Personal Stories from the Vietnamese Exodus 1975â"1996is Hoang's moving account of the Vietnamese refugees that combines autobiographical accounts from survivors with evocative images from the time.After fleeing Vietnam with her family at the age of 16 in a wooden boat full of 373 refugees, Carina Hoang stayed in a UN refugee camp in Indonesia. When she received amnesty from the United States, she earned a B.S. in Chemistry at Rosemont College in Pennsylvania. Though many of her relatives now live in the U.S., Carina eventually settled in Australia with her husband and daughter.In recent years, Carina has taken groups of former âboat peopleâ back to the camps in Indonesia where they escaped to from Vietnam, searching for the graves of those who did not survive. After taking her first trip back to Indonesia and posting some photos of gravesites online, other refugee families had contacted her. They had recognized their relatives' names on the graves in the photos, and asked to accompany her on future trips.
