Abstract
This essay examines the role of charter schools for promoting the interests of diasporic communities. It focuses on the opening of a charter school in a Vietnamese neighborhood in post-disaster New Orleans. While the school's opening testified to the Vietnamese community's increasing visibility in the recovery process of post-disaster New Orleans, the charter school as a vehicle for addressing the specific needs was still fraught with problems. Through this case, this essay ask how much influence diasporic communities have in shaping educational policy and reframing Asian American experiences when the vehicles promoting their interests are associated with neoliberal initiatives.
