Description

The Mong people, sometimes also called Hmong, are an ethnic group originally from southern China that has no country of its own, but has lived as a minority group in China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. The Mong have maintained their language and culture for centuries. In the 1970s, approximately 80,000 Mong migrated to the U.S. for resettlement due to political persecution from the Communist regime in Laos.

This book examines the Mong in diaspora, focusing on the intersection of their culture and education in transition across different regions of the world from 1976 through 2026, from a regional or area studies perspective. Coverage includes the Mong and their cultural background; the Mong in China and East Asia; the Mong in Southeast Asia (Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam); the Mong in the West (U.S., Canada, France, South America, and Australia), and future Implications for the Mong in different regions. This case study of the Mong in diaspora sheds light on how to compare and contrast Mong cultures and education systems when interfacing with their host countries.
