Dr. Donnelly has long been an academic leader in the area of refugee issues and has grounded her scholarship in cultural reality through her extensive volunteer work with the Refugee Women's Alliance in Seattle. This work was based on her doctoral dissertation. "In an ethnographic study of recent Hmong immigrant families in Seattle, Donnelly examines changing gender roles in both the economic and social spheres as Hmong women adapt to new social conditions and opportunities in the U.S. The author focuses specifically on changing patterns of courtship, marriage arrangements, and economic decision making in the household, and how women incorporate new values while attempting to retain elements of their Hmong identity....An actor-based approach and inclusion of long passages in Hmong women's own words makes Donnelly's ethnographic presentation compelling and highly readable". --Choice In this detailed and personal study of Hmong society, which draws heavily on oral history, Nancy Donnelly shows how, under the stress of a new society's alien ideology, members of an immigrant culture have been compelled to change and rethink their identity, refining down to its essential components their definition of what it means to be themselves. This book will be of value not only to those concerned with Asian, Asian American, and immigration studies, but to anyone interested in the process of changing cultural self-definition or in women's studies.
