Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their settlement in the United States, Hmong American women have established themselves in professional organizations across various disciplines as lawyers, teachers, university professors, medical doctors, and political leaders. However, the data on the education achievement of Hmong American women reveal that Hmong American women have one of the lowest educational attainments. According to the 2015 American Community Survey, 20.8% of Hmong American women ages 25 and over has a bachelor or higher degree, whereas 31.9% of White women, 22.4% of Black women and 16.1% of Hispanic women the ages 25 or over. This study will explore, through narrative inquiry, the educational experiences of Hmong American women in college or university; focusing on understanding how their gender and cultural roles influence their educational experiences. This study is guided by the following three question research questions: 1.What do the stories told by Hmong American women reveal about their educational experiences in higher education? 2.What do the stories told by Hmong American women indicate about the challenges they face with their family and culture? 3.What do the stories told by Hmong American women reveal about their identity as Hmong women? This study will be conducted through a conceptual lens incorporating a review of the existing literature from four research streams: (a) the Hmong, (b) the educational achievement and experiences of Hmong American students, (c) Critical Race Theory, and (d) ethnic identity. It will also be conducted through the theoretical lens of Critical Race Theory and the social constructivist paradigm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Central Asia surviving great battles, war, migrating to the mountains of Laos and resettlement in Thailand to the United States, the Hmong people have come a long way. Living in the United States the Hmong elders have resisted assimilation fearing that their children would lose all family traditions and values. The younger generations quickly acculturated transforming from traditional roles taking on new opportunities while living in the United States. Hmong daughters and nyabs are choosing to go against what people from rural Laos view as an unchangeable tradition, of following the path of getting married young and having as many children as possible. This thesis explores the contested nature of the Hmong women's identity and their roles as it was back in their homeland, their struggles assimilating in the United States and their influences to pursue or not pursue higher education.

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.

Book excerpt: This study is a mixed method research looking at Hmong women and their pursuit of higher education. It is a norm in the Hmong culture for women to have less privilege than men which leads to less freedom and more household chores. Studies have been done by other researchers in the 1990's and found these cultural norms as barriers to higher education among Hmong women. This study looks at the barriers to see if it limits women's opportunities to pursue a college degree but will also compare if there are differences between Hmong men and women. The hypothesis is that distance away from home may be an issue among the Hmong population when choosing a college for their daughters. Data will be collected by surveying Hmong college students in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as interviewing Hmong college students, parents, and educators. Suggestions for future research will be to focus on men's pursuit of higher education.

Book excerpt: This dissertation is an effort to support more Hmong women into educational leadership positions. The K-12 student population along with demographics in our country is changing. It is imperative that young children see educators who represent them in their classrooms and schools. There are very few Hmong women principals in the United States at the time of this writing. The foundation of this study, qualitative in nature, was constructed around the narratives of four Hmong women principals and four assistant principals in the United States. All of the women in this study were born in Laos, fled to Thailand in the mid-1970's due to the Vietnam War, and then immigrated to the United States with their families. The research participants range in age from thirty-one to thirty-seven years old. This research revealed that many aspects contributed to the leadership journeys of these women. How they were raised culturally, their aspirations in school, having caring mentors, learning from acts of racism, and truly understanding how to navigate two different cultures on a daily basis are some of the experiences that are shared in this study. Furthermore, the study revealed that Hmong women principals are following in the footsteps of earlier women of color, in regards to the process, mentoring, and hiring practices of entering the principalship. Like African-American and Hispanic women in the early 1970's and 1980's Hmong women principals today, work in schools where ethnic minority students are the majority in their schools.
Download or read book Portraits of Hmong Women written by Christa Xiong and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-13 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pages that follow, rich in descriptive detail, are the fruits of their labor. The women in this survey vary in age, education and level of literacy of American culture. Some were born in Laos and came here as adults. Others arrived as children or in their teens and have been educated as Americans. Portrait of Hmong Women conveys their stories. It brings to light their voices, thoughts and perspectives. In doing so, it shows how the lives of Hmong women are complicated by a multitude of social and cultural factors, including difficult choices they must regularly confront. We will learn that some of those choices were made by them; others have been made for them. Each personal narrative is thus about life in a community that is bounded by strong traditions on the one hand and informed by the need to exercise some autonomy within the spaces of those traditions on the other.
