About this listen
The truth about culture, immigrants wont say about their own people. Regardless of the reasons, none of them should hold higher value than the inevitable truth about the disruptive and dissonant experiences of immigrants who refuse to integrate into the dominant society in which they are expected to live, operate, and function in. Culture plays a significant role in our identity as a collective people, however, at what cost should culture be followed and practiced? Is it rational to maintain culture even at the expense of socioeconomic regress for the sake of preserving some sense of ethnic identity? Hmong Americans are a good example of this phenomenon given there recent immigration to the United States and different socioeconomic patterns observed across the country. For many, losing their culture is equivalent to losing their way of existing, however, people have always been resilient and adaptive as these are necessary factors for progress. This book uncovers acculturative and socioeconomic issues within the Hmong American community and addresses the role culture plays in eliminating those issues through an integrative approach.
