This book balances an account of the traditional life and history of the Hmong as a global people with a full account of their modern, urban lives. With many choosing to flee Laos following the Communist takeover in 1975, the Hmong are now a global community with populations in nations as diverse as Argentina, France, Australia, Canada, and the United States, as well as China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. As they have adapted to new nations and cultures, the Hmong have forged new hybrid forms of identity expressed in music, costume, cooking, and other customs.
