The great majority have settled in predominantly urban centers such as the New Orleans metropolitan area, where some 12,000 Vietnamese currently reside.

Approximately five thousand ethnic Vietnamese residing…
Versailles: A Vietnamese Enclave in New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans supports one of the more substantial urban concentrations of Vietnamese in the United States. An enclave of Vietnamese immigrants has been established at the eastern edge of the city where the Catholic Church, vegetable and herb gardens, and a commercial strip assist the residents in adapting to a new environment. The persistence of this enclave is explained by local conditions as well as by the socioeconomic heritage of the community
Religion and Change in a Mexican Village
Fundamentalist Protestantism is diffusing rapidly throughout Latin America and is present in virtually every rural village and urban neighborhood. Owing to the historical dominance of nominal Catholicism, many Latin American regions now have more practicing Protestants than practicing Catholics. Protestantism first reached San Buenaventura Nealtican, a highland peasant village in Mexico's Puebla Valley, in 1931. Five non-Catholic faiths presently…

Obstacles to Successful Highlander Colonization of the Amazon and Orinoco Basins
Highlander settlement of the Amazon and Orinoco lowlands east of the Andes has increased to the point where every nation from Venezuela to Bolivia presently has active colonization programs and policies. Colonization alleviates social and economic stresses in the highlands and western coastal cities and contributes to a fuller utilization of national sources. Spontaneous colonization has proven more successful than government-directed efforts. Sh…
Nealtican, Mexico: A Peasant Community That Rejected the 'Green Revolution
The 'Green Revolution' designates the application of Mendelian principles to seed selection and crossing beginning in the 1940s to establish new plant varieties affording higher-yielding crops. Its technology and products failed to win acceptance in some less developed countries. The case of Nealtican, Mexico, helps to explain why. Its rejection is seen, given the specific circumstances of the cultural and physical environment, as a rational resp…
