Description
In 2006, Dr. Hein argued that Hmong Americans exhibited only a weak attachment to a panAsian American identity. This presentation re-evaluates that claim using more than 500 front page articles appearing in the Hmong Times from 2001 to 2010. Discourse event analysis indicates that a panAsian American identification has increased. There is considerable variation, however, in which communal institutions have developed panethnic links.
