Description
"Drawing on life-history interviews collected from Hmong refugees in a Wisconsin community, this book examines the disparate political and institutional forces that shaped Hmong literacy development in the twentieth century, including, in Laos, French colonialism, Laotian nationalism, missionary Christianity, and the CIA during the Vietnam War. It further examines the influences on Hmong literacy in the United States, including public schooling, evangelical Christianity, ethnic self-help organizations, and media discourses about Hmong refugees."--Jacket.
