Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The protest-to-politics theme resonates in the literature on racial and ethnic participation and, following Browning, Marshall and Tabb (1984), forms a basis for understanding of minority incorporation. Rarely, however, has the hypothesized linkage between demonstration activity and electoral mobilization been examined at the individual level – or been considered in the context of an Asian American community. We attempt to fill these voids by using the Vietnamese American population in Orange County, California, (i.e., “Little Saigon”), as a case study. Using the results of a telephone survey of 500 Vietnamese Americans and other primary data, we find that taking part in a protest increases the likelihood of voting and that interest in, and active engagement with, the homeland is related to both modes of participation. Coming in light of recent concerns about the “divided loyalties” of immigrants, our findings give weight to the argument that passion for homeland affairs can facilitate first-generation incorporation, thereby helping to make newly arrived migrant groups more engaged as American citizens.
