About Dreams of the Hmong Kingdom

Countering notions that Hmong history begins and ends with the "Secret War" in Laos of the 1960s and 1970s, this study reveals how the Hmong experience of modernity is grounded in their sense of their own ancient past, when this now-stateless people had their own king and kingdom, and illuminates their political choices over the course of a century in a highly contested region of Asia.
