520 8  Wave after wave of political and economic refugees poured 
       out of Vietnam beginning in the late 1970s, overwhelming 
       the resources available to receive them. Squalid 
       conditions prevailed in detention centers and camps in 
       Hong Kong and throughout Southeast Asia, where many 
       refugees spent years languishing in poverty, neglect, and 
       abuse while supposedly being protected by an international
       consortium of caregivers. Voices from the Camps tells the 
       story of the most vulnerable of these refugees: children 
       alone, either orphaned or separated from their 
       families.Combining anthropology and social work with 
       advocacy for unaccompanied children everywhere, James M. 
       Freeman and Nguyen Dinh Huu present the voices and 
       experiences of Vietnamese refugee children neglected and 
       abused by the system intended to help them. Authorities in
       countries of first asylum, faced with thousands upon 
       thousands of increasingly frightened, despairing, and 
       angry people, needed to determine on a case-by-case basis 
       whether they should be sent back to Vietnam or be 
       certified as legitimate refugees and allowed to proceed to
       countries of resettlement. The international community, 
       led by UNHCR, devised a well-intentioned screening system.
       Unfortunately, as Freeman and Nguyen demonstrate, it 
       failed unaccompanied children. The hardships these 
       children endured are disturbing, but more disturbing is 
       the story of how the governments and agencies that set out
       to care for them eventually became the children's 
       tormenters. When Vietnam, after years of refusing to 
       readmit illegal emigrants, reversed its policy, the 
       international community began doing everything it could to
       force them back to Vietnam. Cutting rations, closing 
       schools, separating children from older relations and 
       other caregivers, relocating them in order to destroy any 
       sense of stability-the authorities employed coercion and 
       effective abuse with distressing ease, all in the name of 
       the "best interests" of the children. While some children 
       eventually managed to construct a decent life in Vietnam 
       or elsewhere, including the United States, all have been 
       scarred by their refugee experience and most are still 
       struggling with the legacy. Freeman and Nguyen's 
       presentation and analysis of this sobering chapter in 
       recent history is a cautionary tale and a call to action. 
       James M. Freeman is professor emeritus of anthropology at 
       San Jose State University. He collaborated with Nguyen 
       Dinh Huu on Hearts of Sorrow: Vietnamese American Lives. 
       Nguyen Dinh Huu is a social worker in San Jose and a 
       former South Vietnamese lieutenant colonel.
