DOI : 10.11628/ksppe.2024.27.6.601

Background and objective: In the contemporary globalized world, with migration and mobility occurring at an unprecedentedscale, it is crucial to understand the lives of various diasporas and their integration challenges within host societies,particularly those diasporas that are culturally very different from the host society. This article analyzes the socio-economicand cultural sources of intergenerational conflicts within Vietnamese diasporic families living in the Czech Republic. Methods: The research adopted an ethnographic approach, the analytical data based on three years of participantobservations and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 43 first-generation and 35 individuals from 1.5 and secondgenerationVietnamese Czechs in Brno, Prague, and Olomouc. Results: Through the lens of acculturation, the article demonstrates that first-generation Vietnamese migrants come to theCzech Republic as part of a broader family network to improve their family/kin's financial situation and secure a better futurefor their children. In the host country, they establish transnational family business networks, which provide socio-economicsecurity and upward mobility for the entire family/kin. However, the uncertainties embedded in the migrant’s temporarystatus, and their social networks are founded on traditional Vietnamese family values, morality, and ethics, which sharednot common by the second generation. Conclusion: The social positions, the transnational family networks, and the differing cultural values between the twogenerations generate intergenerational conflicts, particularly concerning the second generation's life strategies, such asforming romantic or marital partnerships with members of the host society.
