Children's Books For and About the Hmong
Abstract
Children's books for and about the Hmong follow a pattern of the same literary development as those of previous immigrants and refugees who came to the United States of America. However, their oral language was written down and codified for the first time only recently, in the 1950s.
This, and the tragic aftermath of the Vietnam War, mean that texts for, by and about the Hmong are only now just starting to be produced.
