Abstract
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.Keywords
