Originating in China centuries ago, they have been known by various names--\u003ci\u003eMiao, Meo, Miaozi, Meng\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eSan Miao\u003c\/i\u003e--some of them derogatory. The Hmong in the West are war-displaced refugees from China and Laos, though they have been misidentified as belonging to other ethnic groups. This mislabeling has caused confusion about the Hmong and their history. This book details the history of the Hmong and their journey from Eastern to Western countries, providing a clear understanding of an immigrant culture little understood by the American public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46503695155351,"sku":"9781476662169","price":4671.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476662169.webp?v=1769189554","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hmong-refugees-in-the-new-world-culture-community-and-opportunity-9781476662169","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
