Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Hmong people have emigrated from China to Southeast Asia, and from there, since the end of the Vietnam wars, to France, America, and other Western countries. Examining a Hmong opium-growing village in northern Thailand, Tapp here explores how these people have managed to maintain a strong
ethnic integrity despite centuries of oppression by more powerful majority populations.
