Book excerpt: Traditionally and culturally, the Hmong valued formal education highly as an open door to economic stability and higher social status, but historically, they have never had the opportunity to truly live out their educational values. Today, the Hmong are living in the greatest country on earth, the United States of America, where they have found the opportunities to live out their dreams and hopes. Adjusting from preliterate culture to modernization and technological and industrial culture is a big challenge the Hmong are facing in their adopted country. As parents are adapting to new cultures in America, they felt they also needed to preserve their traditional cultures. They are living in two contrasted worlds. As result, parents are slowly assimilated into mainstream society, and children are growing up in between two worlds. Children are inheriting Hmong cultural values by reinforcement of traditional practices at home and learn about American values and cultures in school. In fact, schools have functioned as major agents of assimilation for Hmong children. Many Hmong adults having difficulty in assimilating to American mainstream culture because they are lacking English skills and have only minimal formal educational background. They have no hope to be successful educationally and economically. However, they appreciate the educational opportunities their children receive in America and want them to become educated, because education, especially higher education, is the only means to ensure their future economic security. In order to reach their dreams, Hmong parents and children have to pay a heavy price for their journey to educational and economic successes. I hope that by hearing their struggles and experiences will help us get an insight of the whole story.

Book excerpt: This study examines factors affecting the academic performance of Hmong students at Chippewa Valley Technical College. Factors specifically analyzed for their impact upon student success are socioeconomic status, family support, the use of academic support programs, and the influence of agents of socialization. Through the use of archival institutional data, Hmong students were compared to white students at CVTC in terms of their relative grade point averages, course completion rates, and retention rates. Data revealed significant disparities in grade point average performance between Hmong and white students. The data also showed that eligibility for financial aid was significantly higher among Hmong students, and that this difference was commensurate with educational performance gaps between the two groups. Additionally, online surveys were used to assess family support while attending CVTC, the role of academic support programs, and influential agents of socialization. Gender differences in grade point average performance and socialization also were analyzed. Implications of the study's findings are discussed and recommendations for improving the performance of Hmong students are provided.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's healthcare system in the twenty-first century faces a variety of pressures and challenges, not the least of which is that posed by the increasingly multicultural nature of American society itself. Large numbers among the Hmong, immigrants from the landlocked Asian nation of Laos, continue to prefer their own ancient medical traditions. That these Hmong Americans should continue to adhere to a tradition of folk medicine, rather than embrace the modern healthcare system of America, poses questions that must be answered. This book takes up the task of examining Hmong American concepts of health, illness and healing, and looks at the Hmong American experience with conventional medicine. In so doing, it identifies factors that either obstruct or enable healthcare delivery to the Hmong, specifically a target sample of Hmong Americans resident in Colorado. Drawing upon scientific methods of data collection, the research reveals attitudes currently held by a group of American citizens toward health and medicine which run the gamut from the very modern to those which have prevailed in the highlands of Southeast Asia for centuries.
