Martha Aladjem Bloomfield is a writer, oral historian, researcher, educator, photographer, and artist.
The Hmong people, originating from the mountainous regions of China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos, are unique among American immigrants because of their extraordinary history of migration; loyalty to one another; prolonged abuse, trauma, and suffering at the hands of those who dominated them; profound loss; and independence, as well as an amazing capacity to adapt and remain resilient over centuries. This accessible introduction to their experience in Michigan discusses Hmong American history and culture.
