Class Description:
This course exams the history of Hmong American integration into the US mainstream during the last 40 years since being exiled. While the US rebuilds relations with Vietnam and the Lao PDR, Hmong Americans focused on socio-economic, political, and religious integration. The older generation of leaders centered on transnational politics and retaking Laos while the younger generation concentrated on identity and political activism in the US. Generational gaps, gender changes, economic challenges, and linguistic and cultural survival become central issues. Grading is based on two midterms, discussions/class assignments, a critical paper, one newspaper report, one research paper & presentation, and a final exam.
