Large numbers among the Hmong, immigrants from the landlocked Asian nation of Laos, continue to prefer their own ancient medical traditions. That these Hmong Americans should continue to adhere to a tradition of folk medicine, rather than embrace the modern healthcare system of America, poses questions that must be answered. This book takes up the task of examining Hmong American concepts...

	Global Spaces of Chinese Culture : Diasporic Chinese Communities in the United States and Germany Sylvia Van Ziegert This book explores how Chinese communities in the United States and Germany create and disseminate a sense of diasporic Chinese identity.

The book analyzes three strategies which overseas Chinese use to articulate their identities as diasporic subjects: (1) being more American/German, (2) being more Chinese, and (3) hybridizing and commodifying Chinese culture through trans-cultural performances. These three strategies... This book explores how Chinese communities in the United States and Germany create and disseminate a sense of diasporic Chinese identity. The book not...

But it also goes beyond the hegemonic black/white binary in studying race relations in the United States, exploring the interconnectedness among different minority experiences and aiming to bridge the gap between a U.S.-centered view of race and a transnational perspective generated...
