Refugees from Burma: Their Backgrounds and Refugee Experiences
This profile provides information about the diverse histories, backgrounds and refugee experiences from Burma, with a focus on the Burmans, the Karen and their various subgroups, and the Chin. Designed as a resource for refugee service providers but likely to be of use to teachers, local government, agency staff, and others who interact with the Burmese, the profile also addresses the early experiences of the Burmese already settled in the U.S.
