Abstract
This is a study of the Hmong refugee groups who have emigrated from Laos to the United States, with a special focus on the family life of those living in Wausau, Wisconsin. 'The book first traces the stages of the Hmong refugee experience and then looks at how Hmong families are adjusting and adapting to their new lives in the United States. The primary focus is on daily life routines. From this perspective one gains an appreciation of Hmong kinship networks and community. Women's activities are woven throughout this study to highlight the roles they play in their family's social and economic adaptation' (p. xi).
