Community-Based Videos and Migration Issues: The Case of the Thai Community in Hanoi

After decolonization, Thai cadres from the Northwest and elsewhere in Vietnam were appointed to government posts in Hanoi. The Thai community in Hanoi has since grown into a large, closed community. The researchers and Thai community members recorded, discussed and analyzed challenges of migration by highlighting the voices and views of insiders. Migration to Vietnamese urban areas raises broader global and regional issues not new to anthropology, including the preservation of ethnic traditions, integration, and changing perceptions of social status. This case study offers a new perspective on these issues, using the method of community-based video and providing an opportunity for self-expression for the Thai community.
