The Hmong first arrived in Australia in 1975 from war-torn Laos, settling in Australia as a small population of under 2,000. This collection of interdisciplinary papers ranging across anthropology and linguistics, musicology, material culture, gender issues and sociology gives the general reader an introduction to this fascinating and relatively unknown community as well as an understanding of the wide range of issues which research on the Hmong in Australia has covered to date. Both editors have extensive experience of Hmong populations in Asia and bring this experience to bear on a project that deals solely with the Hmong in an Australian context. The contributors to the book represent virtually all the serious researchers who have devoted their attentions to the Hmong in Australia.
