Minnesota has always been a land of immigrants. Successive waves have each made their own way, found their place, and made it their home. The Hmong are one of the most recent immigrant groups, and their remarkable and moving story is told in Hmong in Minnesota. Chia Youyee Vang reveals the colorful, intricate history of Hmong Minnesotans, many of whom were forced to flee their homeland of Laos when the communists seized power during the Vietnam War. Having assisted U.S. troops in the "Secret War," Hmong soldiers and civilians were eligible to settle in the United States. Vang offers a unique window into the lives of the Minnesota Hmong through the stories of individuals who represent the experiences of many. One voice is that of Mao Heu Thao, one of the first refugees to come to Minnesota, sponsored by Catholic Charities in 1976. She tells of the unexpectedly cold weather, the strange food, and the kindness of her hosts. By introducing readers to the immigrants themselves, Hmong in Minnesota conveys a population's struggle to adjust to new environments, build communities, maintain cultural practices, and make its mark on government policies and programs. Chia Youyee Vang was born in Laos and as a child escaped with her family to the United States. An assistant professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she specializes in the study of Hmong community-building efforts.

Runs small. Order up a size.
Color: Black (001)/Jet Gray, Size: Small
I have small hands so I ordered a small. I even measured my hands to make sure. I couldn't even get the gloves on. They are cute though. They don't seem great for the snow, but I couldn't get them on to even try them out.

great cold weather wardrobe addition!
Color: (110) Summit White / Summit White / Khaki Base, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
So glad I got this. Got tired of trying to manage hats and ponytails in the Northeastern winter! Super well-made, very warm and soft, and so cute!!! I'm a sucker for a beige cable anything. sometimes I stick it around my neck too when I'm not feeling-scarf-y, and while it's not full coverage, I'm glad to have it.

Perfect everyday bag for men
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (025) Castlerock / Black / Black
It’s lightweight, attractive, and the perfect size for carrying the amount of things you want throughout the day. Can be casual or carried into a fine restaurant. The strap is long enough to wear cross body on a large man. Also, they provide a loop that allows you to fold up the strap and turn it into a short handled bag. Great price for the quality and usefulness.
