Summary

"Pushing the boundaries of Asian American educational discourse, this book explores the way a group of first- and second-generation Hmong students created their identities as "new Americans" in response to their school experiences. Offering an opportunity to rethink the "norm," this important volume pays particular attention to how race, class, and gender informed their experiences."--Jacket.
