Changing Lives of Refugee Hmong Women

"In an ethnographic study of recent Hmong immigrant families in Seattle, Donnelly examines changing gender roles in both the economic and social spheres as Hmong women adapt to new social conditions and opportunities in the U.S. The author focuses specifically on changing patterns of courtship, marriage arrangements, and economic decision making in the household, and how women incorporate new values while attempting to retain elements of their Hmong identity . . . . An actor-based approach and inclusion of long passages in Hmong women's own words makes Donnelly's ethnographic presentation compelling and highly readable". -- ChoiceDonnelly, Nancy D. is the author of 'Changing Lives of Refugee Hmong Women' with ISBN 9780295973616 and ISBN 0295973617.
