Writing from These Roots: Literacy in a Hmong-American Community (Book) [show prizes]
Title: Writing from These Roots: Literacy in a Hmong-American Community
Author: John M. Duffy
Abstract: Writing from These Roots documents the historical development of literacy in a Midwestern American community of Laotian Hmong, a people who came to the United States as refugees from the Vietnam War and whose language had no widely accepted written form until one created by missionary-linguists was adopted in the late twentieth century by Hmong in Laos and, later, the U.S. and other Western nations.
