Alien Winds: The Reeducation of America's Indochinese Refugees

Abstract

U American personnel working in the Philippine Refugee Processing Center (PRPC) no longer live in buildings made of asbestos: After some protest, virtually all of them have been moved to asbestos-free concrete dormitories. But most of their Filipino counterparts and all of the camps' thousands of Indochinese refugees continue to live in asbestos housing despite massive documentation of its hazards, its pervasiveness, and recommendations for its removal.
