| | Thao-Mong Education |
 | | Paoze Thao’s Mong Education at the Crossroads is a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the Mong (a recent survey of this literature can be found at www.hmongcenter.org.) Thao provides a rich source of scholarly information on Mong history, culture, and resettlement, and offers a wealth of references to earlier work. |
 | | Thao’s interests and expertise are displayed in his discussions of the history and ethnography of the Mong, the resettlement process, educational challenges confronting the Mong and their teachers in the United States, and the nature of the Mong language. |
 | | Thao’s first chapter concisely surveys the traditional culture, education, and economy of the Mong, providing an essential background to understand the difficulties facing Mong immigrants in the United States. |
