{"product_id":"reclaiming-diasporic-identity-sangmi-lee-9780252087868","title":"Reclaiming Diasporic Identity: Transnational Continuity and National Fragmentation in the Hmong Diaspora","description":"The Hmong diaspora radiates from Southeast Asia to include far-flung nations like the United States, New Zealand, and Argentina. Sangmi Lee draws on the concept of diasporic identity to explore the contemporary experiences of Hmong people living in Vang Vieng, Laos, and Sacramento, California. Hmong form a sense of belonging based on two types of experiences: shared transnational cultural and social relations across borders; and national differences that arise from living in separate countries. As Lee shows, these disparate influences contribute to a dual sense of belonging but also to a transnational mobility and cultural fluidity that defies stereotypes of Hmong as a homogenous people bound to one place. Lee's on-the-ground fieldwork lends distinctive detail to communities and individuals while her theoretically informed approach clarifies and refines what it means when already hybrid and dynamic identities become diasporic. \u003cp\u003e In-depth and interdisciplinary, \u003ci\u003eReclaiming Diasporic Identity\u003c\/i\u003e blends ethnography and history to provide a fresh consideration of Hmong life today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sangmi Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252087860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252087868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2024","brand":"Sangmi Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670676197631,"sku":"9780252087868","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7795419-7d20-445d-9fa2-6de586b973d2.jpg?v=1741317082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reclaiming-diasporic-identity-sangmi-lee-9780252087868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
