Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2006 Critics' Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association Resting on the belief that educators must be at the center of informing education policy, the contributors to this revised edition of the classic text raise tough questions that will both haunt and invigorate pre- and in-service educators, as well as veteran teachers. They explore the policies and practices of structuring exclusions; they listen hard to youth living at the margins of race, class, ethnicity, and gender; and they wrestle with fundamental inequalities of space in order to educate for change. Written from the perspective of researchers, policy analysts, teachers, and youth workers, the book reveals a shared belief in education that "could be," and a shared concern about schools that currently reproduce class, race and gender relations, and privilege.
Download or read book Experiences of Hmong Men who Marry at an Early Age written by Qia Xiong Lor and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Hmong men who married as adolescents. The study explored the men's perceptions and opinions of early marriage, factors that led to their decisions to marry at an early age, how early marriage impacted their lives as individuals, as well as their roles and status in the Hmong community. An exploratory qualitative study was used to focus on the lived experiences of eight Hmong adult men. Data were collected by using face to face in-depth interviews. A snowball sampling method was used to recruit participants in the Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, and Fresno County area of California. The findings indicated that the most Hmong men in this study, as adolescents, chose to marry as a result of pressure they felt or received from the girls' families, their own families, or themselves. The participants reported there was a change in role and status in the community along with responsibilities and expectations. This research study implies that there is a need for social workers and other professionals working with the Hmong community, specifically with Hmong adolescent boys, to understand that there are challenges and struggles that Hmong men face when married at an early age.

Download or read book Claiming Place written by Chia Youyee Vang and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploratory qualitative research study utilizes feminist standpoint theory and shame cultures to explore the experience of Hmong women who married young by force of the family, due to a situation that is considered taboo in the Hmong culture. Three situational taboos were considered in this study: (a) premarital pregnancy, (b) bringing the girl home later than the parent(s) liking, and (c) visiting the girl without parental knowledge. Semi-structured interviews with five Hmong women residing in the Central Valley of California were conducted. This study is guided by the principles of hermeneutic phenomenology as described by Van Manen (as cited in Creswell, 2007) and Creswell (2007). Three themes emerged in the study: shame, freedom, and resilience. Findings indicate that shame and the value placed on saving face in the Hmong culture were contributing factors to their forced marriage.

Download or read book Hmong related Works 1996 2006 written by Mark Edward Pfeifer and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong are a mountain-dwelling subgroup of the Miao of southwest China. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they began migrating southeast to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. In the second half of the twentieth century, mainly because of their participation in the Second Indochina War (1954-1975), the Hmong began migrating to the West. Today the Hmong are one of the fastest-growing ethnic populations in the United States, increasing from about 94,000 in the 1990 census to approximately 190,000 in the U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey. With this rapid expansion, there has been a substantially increased interest in Hmong-related written works; multimedia materials; and websites among students, scholars, service professionals, and the general public. To help meet this interest, Mark Edward Pfeifer has compiled Hmong-Related Works, 1996-2006. An Annotated Bibliography, which includes full reference information (including Internet links to articles) and descriptive summaries for more than 600 Hmong-related works. Book jacket.
Download or read book The Experiences of Hmong Men who Marry as Adolescents written by Yuepeng Vang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore the issues that arise for adolescent Hmong males who were culturally married under the legal age of eighteen, as well as the resulting pressures they experienced due to competing expectations between traditional Hmong culture and the American context in which they live. More specifically, this study addresses the consequences Hmong males face when they marry young, particularly the ways in which early marriage may affect educational attainment, career/job success, financial stability, health, and general emotional well-being. An exploratory qualitative design was used in the study that included face to face interviews with 7 Hmong adult men who married as adolescents. The findings from this research indicate that the Hmong men who marry as adolescents struggled to fulfill the expectations of a married man, integrate two different worlds (the American mainstream and the traditional Hmong culture) into their everyday life, pursue their education, and achieve financial stability. The findings of this study indicate a much needed insight to practitioners to better assist Hmong males, and their families with respect to the issue of adolescent marriage is key to providing this culturally and ethnically distinct group, who are attempting to find their place in mainstream U.S. society. The information gained in this study will aid social workers in developing more effective interventions with Hmong men, their families, and the overall Hmong community who have either married young or are facing decisions around adolescent marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By looking at a variety of racial and ethnic groups in society, Social Work, Marriage and Ethnicity examines the conventional knowledge, theories and best practices relating to marriages. Contributors address marriage interventions, female empowerment, parenting, and cohabitation, as well as the variables which impact these situations, such as employment, housing, domestic violence and HIV/AIDS, within appropriate and meaningful cultural contexts. This book will be particularly useful for social workers working in many settings: clinical, community, research, policy implementation, faith-based, and other arenas that are available to couples in need of marital support. Marriage issues need to be addressed by social workers, given its status as a vital element in family strengthening and relationship stability. This book emboldens the case manager, community organizer, or immigration officer to address marital stresses and the demands faced by those couples most impacted by systemic inequality and barriers to cultural interventions. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment.
