The Hmong & their odyssey : a roots-searching journey of an American professor
Kou Yang (Author)
"This book briefly covers the Hmong and their experience of the Diaspora, providing basic and general information about the Hmong and their long migration from China to five continents. It highlights the Hmong in Asia (China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar), Australia, Europe (France and Germany) and the continent of America (Canada, United States, Argentina and French Guiana). An important part of the book is the roots-searching journey of an American professor, who has visited the Hmong in many countries, including his ten visits to the Hmong in China. Overall, the book reflects Yang Peide's description that 'for five thousand years of emigrations or exiles, we Hmong/Miao people in China and elsewhere have survived generation by generation, simply because we never forgot our history, both the glorious and the miserable; simply because we have always had the spiritual blessings of our forefathers with us wherever we go'"--Page 4 of cover
