Migration, Dispersion and Identity of the Hmong in Laos
by Hao Guoqiang
About This Novel
Based on field investigation and literature review, this book restores the historical process of the Miao people's diaspora from China to Laos, and then from Laos to the West. It also describes the current migration trend of the Hmong people within Laos. This book selects three typical villages to discuss the actual situation of the Hmong in Laos, the country where they live, from three perspectives: economic interaction, religious change, and marriage evolution. It reveals the survival strategies of the Hmong in Laos at different stages of development, analyzes their family identity, ethnic identity, and national identity in different scenarios, and explains the dialectical relationship between Hmong cultural separation and identity, ethnic boundaries, and cultural strategies.
