An actor-based approach and inclusion of long passages in Hmong women's own words makes Donnelly's ethnographic presentation compelling and highly readable". -- Choice In this detailed and personal study of Hmong society, which draws heavily on oral history, Nancy Donnelly shows how, under the stress of a new society's alien ideology, members of an immigrant culture have been compelled to change and rethink their identity, refining down to its essential components their definition of what it means to be themselves.
