Author: John Duffy, Roger Harmon, Donald A. Ranard, Bo Thao, Kou Yang
CAL, 2004. — 61 p.This profile provides information about the Hmong in general—their history, culture, language, and resettlement experiences—as well as information about the new arrivals in particular. It is intended primarily for service providers who will be assisting the refugees in their communities in the United States. But others may find it useful, too. Teachers may use it to educate students about a people whose modern history is closely intertwined with America’s. Local government agencies—the courts, the police, the housing and health departments—may use it to help their staff better understand, and thus better serve, the new arrivals.
