ISBN: 9780816697786 - claiming place: on the agency of hmong women (12 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Countering the idea of Hmong women as victims, the contributors to this pathbreaking volume demonstrate how the prevailing scholarly emphasis on Hmong culture and men as the primary culprits of women?s subjugation perpetuates the perception of a Hmong premodern status and renders unintelligible women?s nuanced responses to patriarchal strategies of domination both in the United States and in Southeast Asia.Claiming Place expands knowledge about the Hmong lived reality while contributing to broader conversations on sexuality, diaspora, and agency. While these essays center on Hmong experiences, activism, and popular representations, they also underscore the complex gender dynamics between women and men and address the wider concerns of gendered status of the Hmong in historical and contemporary contexts, including deeply embedded notions around issues of masculinity.Organized to highlight themes of history, memory, war, migration, sexuality, selfhood, and belonging, this book moves beyond a critique of Hmong patriarchy to argue that Hmong women have been and continue to be active agents not only in challenging oppressive societal practices within hierarchies of power but also in creating alternative forms of belonging.Contributors: Geraldine Craig, Kansas State U; Leena N.
