Looking back on the Development of Vietnamese Community in Australia

Abstract

After about half a century of establishment and development in Australia, Vietnamese community groups in Australia have formed and developed community and flexibility, which are cultural features that contribute to preserving and promoting the traditional Vietnamese culture, helping them to adapt and integrate into the local multicultural society without dissolving into Australian society. The article uses qualitative data analysis methods, most of which are secondary data, besides some primary data collected by the author through surveying the experiences and lifestyles of Vietnamese intellectuals in the process of living with the boat people and their descendants. In addition, migration circumstances, family background and professional education are also considered as factors affecting the process of coexistence and integration among Vietnamese communities in Australia.
