Over the centuries, the Hmong are among those ancient people who have migrated from one location to another in search of the peace and freedom to live and practice their traditional way of life in solidarity. As one of many refugee groups migrating to the United States, the Hmong have made radical changes to their traditional practices, particularly traditional Hmong marriage ceremony rituals. This book reviews the culture and used semi-structured, face-to-face and telephone interviews to discover factors that have affected change to the traditional Hmong marriage ceremony among the 0.5-generation. The 0.5-generation Hmong are individuals who were born in Laos and raised and educated in the United States with a common knowledge of both Hmong and American cultures. The Hmong quickly adapting to and adopting the American culture, there were high expectations that the Hmong will continue to preserve and practice their traditional marriage practices and rituals with their marriage ceremony preferences.
