​Dorchester:  A Vietnamese Refugee Story is a follow-up to Mark F. Erickson's award-winning photobook Other Streets:  Scenes from a Life in Vietnam not Lived.  Erickson shares an intimate, rarely seen view of what life was like for the hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese who fled Vietnam and re-settled in the United States in the two decades after the end of the war.  Black-and-white photographs taken in Boston's largest Vietnamese community between 1991 and 1994 are centered around moments of family life, as well as capturing scenes of school, church, and community.  Erickson, born Đỗ Văn Hùng in Saigon, shares in the preface how he met those he photographed and how meeting them changed his life.
