Subjects: Hmong American women.
Description: In this detailed and personal study of Hmong society, which draws heavily on oral history, Donnelly shows us how, under the stress of a new society's alien ideology, members of an immigrant culture have been compelled to change and rethink their identity, refining down to its essential components their definition of what it means to be themselves.

Changing Lives of Refugee Hmong Women will be of value not only to those concerned with Asian, Asian American, and immigration studies, but to anyone interested in the process of changing cultural self-definition or in women's studies.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-215) and index.
