Title: Hmong Means Free
Product review: I had to read this book for a history course. It was interesting at the beginning, until I see the picture of my Hmong friends. The author is pretty bias in some part of her writting. There are no evidences to support her term of Hmong means free. We are not free people we fought for our freedom just like any other less dominance race. You can not base an accurate study of the Hmong Culture based on interviews with Hmong peers and students. Though I do find the quote of other authors pretty well worded. Although the Hmong did fight the Han-Chinese to reclaim their land, they never succeeded. Many Hmong philosophers were killed and written history were burned and destroyed by the Han- Chinese. There are no accurate documentation of Hmong history. All I have to say is, if a book is written about the Hmong, then I think its a new culture and race being created.
