When Saigon fell and allies withdrew, the surviving Hmong fled for their lives, spending years in Thai refugee camps before being relocated to the United States and other countries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Many of these families found homes in Wisconsin, which now has the third largest Hmong population in the country, following California and Minnesota. As one of the most recent cultural groups to arrive in the Badger State, the Hmong have worked hard to establish a new life here, building support systems to preserve traditions and to help one another as they enrolled in schools, started businesses, and strived for independence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Told with a mixture of scholarly research, interviews, and personal experience of the author, this latest addition to the popular People of Wisconsin series shares the Hmong's varied stories of survival and hope as they have become an important part of Wisconsin communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mai Zong Vue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870209426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870209420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisconsin Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Mai Zong Vue","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941206262015,"sku":"9780870209420","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8e381401-cb88-45ed-b6db-cdb369e4a297.jpg?v=1681451545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hmong-in-wisconsin-mai-zong-vue-9780870209420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
