The
POLITICAL PROCESS
 Historically,
the Hmong of Southeast Asia have been a minority people living in lands
ruled by powerful elites. For this reason, the tendency has been to
remain outside the realm of public politics. In the United States,
however, the Hmong have generally exercised their right to vote at
higher rates than other Asian Americans. But only recently has a new
generation of Hmong leaders emerged willing to test the political waters
by running for office.
Tsheej Tswj
Raws li keeb kwm, cov Hmoob nyob sab Southeast Asia yeej yog neeg thoj
nam tawg rog uas nyob rau rau lub teb chaws uas tswj los ntawm cov neeg
nplua nuj thiab muaj meej mom. Vim li no thiaj pheej keev muab tshem
tawm ntawm kev tsheej tswj pej xeem huab hwm. Txawm li ntawv los, nyob
rau teb chaws Asmesliskas no, Hmoob tau los mus pov npav coob tshaj lwm
haiv neeg Asia Asmesliskas. Tabsis tsis ntev los no xwb muaj ib phaum
Hmoob thawj tswj tshiab tshwm los mus sib tw ua tej dej num saib xyuas
pej xeeem huab hwm lawm thiab. |
