What People are Saying About This
“In this follow-up to Up Against Whiteness, Stacey Lee and colleagues examine the ways Hmong youth continue to be marginalized by policies and practices within and outside of schools, as they simultaneously examine the ways in which Hmong American leaders, parents, and youth understand, negotiate, and challenge invisibility and hyper-visibility through educational advocacy and community-based education. A must-read for all those interested in bringing to light the ongoing relations among groups to structures of power, social policies, and large sociopolitical formations.”—Lois Weis, State University of New York Distinguished Professor, University at Buffalo
“Stacey Lee offers us another master class on respectful research with(in) Hmong communities and among Hmong youth by listening carefully, observing closely, and maintaining a learning stance that assumes participants’ ‘full humanity.’ Lee’s work continues to educate us about the multiplicity of Asian Americans, and to further complicate Hmong American identity, typically ‘unseen, unknown, unrecognized,’ yet far from monolithic; Hmong Americans are a richly differentiated community that actively resists racism and seeks social uplift, even while members follow varied pathways to achieve shared aspirations.”—A. Lin Goodwin, Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Boston College, and immediate past Dean, Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong
