À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In search of a place to call home, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand and onward to America. But lacking a written language of their own, the Hmong experience has been primarily recorded by others. Driven to tell her family's story after her grandmother's death, "The Latehomecomer" is Kao Kalia Yang's tribute to the remarkable woman whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand account of a people who have worked hard to make their voices heard.Beginning in the 1970s, as the Hmong were being massacred for their collaboration with the United States during the Vietnam War, Yang recounts the harrowing story of her family's captivity, the daring rescue undertaken by her father and uncles, and their narrow escape into Thailand where Yang was born in the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp.When she was six years old, Yang's family immigrated to America, and she evocatively captures the challenges of adapting to a new place and a new language. Through her words, the dreams, wisdom, and traditions passed down from her grandmother and shared by an entire community have finally found a voice.Together with her sister, Kao Kalia Yang is the founder of a company dedicated to helping immigrants with writing, translating, and business services. A graduate of Carleton College and Columbia University, Yang has recently screened "The Place Where We Were Born," a film documenting the experiences of Hmong American refugees.

  • Wonder storytelling

    I greatly enjoyed the memoir. Would recommend hearing the author speak in addition to her writing.

  • The Latehomecomer

    Really really great book. A lot of emotions throughout the whole book and very detailed. This book was very well written to describe the time of hardship to the Hmong people and all the struggles that can relate to all Hmong families who were of immigrants who came here to America for better hope.

  • Awesome Product! A MUST READ!!

    I bought this book because it was an assignment for class. At first I thought the book was going to be boring and lame but the book was very interesting and Yang's usage of words to describe her parents' experience was great.
