The 83,000-strong Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic represents the third largest ethnic-minority in the country. The first generation of Vietnamese were sent here as indentured workers, as a form of payment for the country’s help in the war. Following the fall of communism, these Vietnamese began establishing their own businesses. They made their children learn Czech and gave them new opportunities. A whole new generation of Czech-Vietnamese is breaking new ground, veering away from the traditional jobs, embracing their heritage and showcasing the best of diversity and integration.

ABOUT THE SHOW: The New Locals brings us stories of the different ethnic communities who’ve made their home in foreign lands around the world - people who migrated and over time, become one of the locals.
The slantyapolis/seftre blog has served millions of views trying to help in its own way, to give voice to the Asian and Asian American community, as well as document it, over the last 18 years. Sometimes op-ed, sometimes straight news, sometimes off the beaten path--the continued impetus remains that there's power in sharing voices and in sharing your own voice and reflecting that back into the communities you belong to.
