Haiv Neeg Hmoob Yog Leej Twg?

Who are the Hmong People?

by Khab Yaj Xyooj · 2020

Why this book

Thirty pages, in Hmong, answering the question the title asks. It is the kind of short introduction that exists in English many times over and in Hmong almost not at all — a plain account of who the Hmong are, written for Hmong readers rather than explaining them to outsiders. That reversal is the whole reason it is on the shelf. The brevity is a feature for the audience it suits: a young reader who is starting to ask, or an adult learner whose Hmong is not yet strong enough for a full history. Self-published, and the production is simple. Read it before the histories, then go to A People's History of the Hmong when the questions get bigger. For upper-elementary readers, heritage-language classrooms, and families who want the first answer to come in Hmong.
