Abstract
This work is a study of recent (1980s) Hmong immigrants to Seattle, Washington and their changing gender roles in both the social and economic spheres as the Hmong women adapt to new social conditions and opportunities in the United States. Donnelly focuses specifically in this study on changing patterns of courtship, household decision making, and the manner in which women incorporate new values into their lives while attempting to retain elements of their basic identity (back cover). Additional chapters in the book provide information on general concepts of social change and its relationship to the Hmong, the PAJ NTAUB needlework of the Hmong and its sale, wedding customs, and domestic conflict within the society. The author's role as a participant observer is noted throughout the text.
