In Australia, as in other resettlement countries, the Hmong have been active in founding local and national associations, and there is alarm about the younger generation's loss of traditional cultural heritage. The Australian Hmong is a small community, but a dynamic and rapidly changing one. This collection of interdisciplinary papers-ranging across anthropology and linguistics, musicology, material culture, gender issues and sociology-gives the general reader an introduction to this fascinating and relatively unknown community as well as an understanding of the wide range of issues that research on the Hmong in Australia has covered to date. Both editors have extensive experience of Hmong populations in Asia and bring this experience to bear on a project that deals solely with the Hmong in an Australian context. The contributors to the book represent virtually all the serious researchers who have devoted their attentions to the Hmong in Australia. 606 $aHmong (Asian people)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHmong (Asian people)$xSocial aspects. 676 $a304.808995 702 $aTapp$b Nicholas$f1952- 702 $aLee$b G.
