This volume provides a comprehensive study of the Lao Mien, a distinct subgroup of the Yao people who historically lived in isolation in Northwest Laos. The Vietnam War disrupted their way of life, forcing many into refugee camps in Laos and Thailand. In the 1980s, a significant number of Lao Mien successfully resettled in the United States, Canada, and France. Embroidery is not just a skill; it is a crucial aspect of Mien women's identity, prominently featured on all their clothing. As their circumstances evolved, so did their embroidery, incorporating new designs and vibrant colors with the advent of commercial thread. Today, Mien women in the U.S. are actively engaged in education and the workforce, showcasing their resilience and adaptability.
