In \u003ci\u003eFrontier Livelihoods\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors focus their study on the Hmong - known in China as the Miao - in the Sino-Vietnamese borderlands, contending that individuals and households create livelihoods about which governments often know little.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe product of wide-ranging research over many years, \u003ci\u003eFrontier Livelihoods \u003c\/i\u003ebridges the traditional divide between studies of China and peninsular Southeast Asia by examining the agency, dynamics, and resilience of livelihoods adopted by Hmong communities in Vietnam and in China's Yunnan Province.
