Melbourne.: Heinemann.. 1998.. Colour photographic illustrations, glossary, further reading, index, 48pp, quarto, laminated pictorial covers. Suitable for middle school children. Part of the 'Fighting for Survival Series.' All over the world indigenous peoples speak of the same experience of development. They are often marginalised, dispossed of their land and robbed of their culture. Through a montage of text and stunning photographs, diary extracts and the words of the people themselves, each book in the series explores the experience of change in tribal culture: its fight for survival. "This book tells of the Hmong way of life - their farming techniques, their food and clothes, their religion and their festivals. It also tells of how they survived wars and government policies that have attempted to break down their culture - to make them Vietnamese." (Publisher's description).
