"Educating New Americans" examines what it means to be an American
through the history of a refugee from Laos. Shou Cha is a community
liaison for an elementary school, an evangelical preacher, a
community leader, a husband, and a father. His lifetime of
learning, presented mainly in his own voice, is framed by various
historical and sociological contexts that have shaped his life, the
lives of other Hmong refugees, and the lives of other Americans,
old and new. These contexts include the history of immigrant
education policies in the United States, as seen through the lives
of immigrant children; the historical and sociological impact of
warfare as well as missionary work in the lives of the Hmong
people; and the sociology of generational conflict, especially as
it is felt among immigrant groups. Finally, this book suggests that
immigrant parents such as Shou Cha can contribute to the process of
teaching peace to children, and making peace between diverse groups
in America, the land of "e pluribus unum."
