Thesis advisor: Carlo Rotella / Thesis advisor: Tom F. Mulvoy / Vietnamese immigrants and refugees have made their home in Boston, especially in Dorchester's Fields Corner neighborhood, since the end of the Vietnam War. Still one of the Hub's youngest immigrant groups, the Vietnamese have helped define the "New Boston," a term used to describe a city where white residents are now in the minority. This paper explores the triumphs and challenges, past and present, facing the Vietnamese community as they march steadily toward economic security, political recognition, and acculturation. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2006. / Submitted to: Boston College.
