We enlist the public and the international community to support the cause of human rights for all. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH Human Rights Watch conducts regular, systematic investigations of human rights abuses in some seventy countries around the world.

Human Rights Watch defends freedom of thought and expression, due process and equal protection of the law, and a vigorous civil society; we document and denounce murders, disappearances, torture, arbitrary imprisonment, discrimination, and other abuses of internationally recognized human rights. Our goal is to hold governments accountable if they transgress the rights of their people.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report is based on research conducted by Human Rights Watch from February 2001 through February 2002. The report was edited by Sidney Jones, director of the Asia Division, Joe Saunders, deputy director of the Asia division, and Malcolm Smart, program director. Additional comments were provided by Jim Ross, senior legal advisor, and Rachael Reilly, refugee policy advisor. More than one hundred highlanders who were witnesses to the turmoil in the Central Highlands of Vietnam in 2001 were interviewed for this report. Human Rights Watch would like to express its gratitude to all those individuals who spoke with us–sometimes under conditions of great duress or personal risk. For their own protection, they cannot be named here. In addition we thank numerous others who prefer to remain anonymous who contributed to this report in many ways, assisting with translation, information on the history of the Central Highlands, documentation, and logistical arrangements in the field.

Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Xue Lan Rong Jocelyn Glazier Rebecca New Lynda Stone Karolyn Tyson ABSTRACT Liv Thorstensson Dávila Schooling, Identity, and Ethnicity in a New Immigrant State: The Challenges of Belonging and Performance among Vietnamese Montagnard Refugees in an Urban High School (Under the direction of Xue Lan Rong) This dissertation examines how a group of Vietnamese Montagnard refugee high school students transact their identities at a low-performing, urban high school in the U.S. southeast. As a qualitative study, this research draws on principals of ethnographic inquiry and prioritizes the individual voices of nine students and their teachers, as well as field notes taken during classroom observations. It also draws on background data from interviews with parents, and community members to build an understanding of broader tensions and possibilities that shape these students’ identities in school. Findings are analyzed though Holland et al.’s (1998) and Holland and Lave’s (2001) framework of identity. Findings reveal that the students generally view themselves and are viewed by their teachers and peers as “good kids” but “poor students,” owing to their experiences as a marginalized ethnic minority in Vietnam, interrupted formal education, limited English proficiency, and graduation requirements that stymie their sense of success in and beyond !

Muurling-Wilbrink Amsterdam Master‘s in Medical Anthropology Faculty of Social & Behavioural Sciences Universiteit van Amsterdam Supervisor: Pieter Streefland, Ph.D. Barneveld 2005 The silent emergency: ”You are what you eat!‘ 1 Preface ”I am old, my skin is dark because of the sun, my face is wrinkled and I am tired of my life. You are young, beautiful and fat, but I am old, ugly and skinny! What can I do, all the days of my life are the same and I do not have good food to eat like others, like Khmer people or Lao, or ”Barang‘ (literally French man, but used as a word for every foreigner), I am just Tampuan. I am small and our people will get smaller and smaller until we will disappear. Before we were happy to be smaller, because it was easier to climb into the tree to get the fruit from the tree, but nowadays we feel ourselves as very small people. We can not read and write and we do not have the alphabet, because it got eaten by the dog and we lost it. What should we do?‘ ”We do not have the energy and we don‘t have the power to change our lives. Other people are better than us. My husband is still alive, he is working in the field and he is a good husband, because he works hard on the field.

Hmong Music in Northern Vietnam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity Lonán Ó Briain May 2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music University of Sheffield © 2012 Lonán Ó Briain All Rights Reserved Abstract Hmong Music in Northern Vietnam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity Lonán Ó Briain While previous studies of Hmong music in Vietnam have focused solely on traditional music, this thesis aims to counteract those limited representations through an examination of multiple forms of music used by the Vietnamese-Hmong. My research shows that in contemporary Vietnam, the lives and musical activities of the Hmong are constantly changing, and their musical traditions are thoroughly integrated with and impacted by modernity. Presentational performances and high fidelity recordings are becoming more prominent in this cultural sphere, increasing numbers are turning to predominantly foreign- produced Hmong popular music, and elements of Hmong traditional music have been appropriated and reinvented as part of Vietnam’s national musical heritage and tourism industry. Depending on the context, these musics can be used to either support the political ideologies of the Party or enable individuals to resist them.
