Abstract
This dissertation discusses the Southeast Asian Refugee Resettlement Program in Argentina, 1979-1982. It explores the process by which Posadas became the nucleus of Lao life in Argentina, highlighting important junctures in the transition from a resettlement policy mediated by the UNHCR and the Argentine Interior Ministry (1979-1982) to provincial-level management in Misiones. This work examines why and how Lao refugees made Posadas their home while situating the analysis in Hemispheric Asian American approaches to Asian immigration and racialization in contemporary Latin America.
