Minnesota has always been a land of immigrants. Successive waves have each made their own way, found their place, and made it their home. The Hmong are one of the most recent immigrant groups, and their remarkable and moving story is told in Hmong in Minnesota. Chia Youyee Vang reveals the colorful, intricate history of Hmong Minnesotans, many of whom were forced to flee their homeland of Laos when the communists seized power during the Vietnam War. Having assisted U.S. troops in the "Secret War," Hmong soldiers and civilians were eligible to settle in the United States. Vang offers a unique window into the lives of the Minnesota Hmong through the stories of individuals who represent the experiences of many. One voice is that of Mao Heu Thao, one of the first refugees to come to Minnesota, sponsored by Catholic Charities in 1976. She tells of the unexpectedly cold weather, the strange food, and the kindness of her hosts. By introducing readers to the immigrants themselves, Hmong in Minnesota conveys a population's struggle to adjust to new environments, build communities, maintain cultural practices, and make its mark on government policies and programs. Chia Youyee Vang was born in Laos and as a child escaped with her family to the United States. An assistant professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she specializes in the study of Hmong community-building efforts.Binding Type: Paperback

Long lost LOVE!
This is my absolute favorite outdoor tanning product so far! I purchased this for the first time during a vacation out of state and fell in love with the formula. It is a dry oil, so your skin is left smooth and silky - not sticky or slick. There is no SPF, so I do recommend using this when you've already developed a good base tan. I find that it is not as heavy feeling as similar formulas with SPF. The fragrance is the classic tropical Australian Gold scent that smells just as good hours after applying and is non-offensive. There are instant natural bronzers in this product thanks to the black walnut shell extract which provides a great glow after applying. The formula also boasts a "Colorboost Maximizer to speed up the tanning process. One of the ingredients: Tyrosine, is responsible for this claim. Tyrosine is an amino acid that melanin (responsible for the pigment of your skin) is made from. The formula also states melanin as an ingredient so the idea is to boost your skins natural ability to produce melanin, which is then darkened by your skin's reaction to UV Rays, thus speeding up your tan. Carrot root extract is another ingredient which is a great antioxidant for skin protection - and Vitamin E is obviously fabulous for skin. The best part: NO MINERAL OIL - so your skin can breathe and soak up nutrients, NOT pore clogging oils! Obviously this isn't a miracle product - but what it is is an affordable, reasonable outdoor tanning product that had some thought put into its formula for your skin's benefit. I believe it does boost my skin's natural ability to pick up color from the sun. And the light formula and great scent doesn't hurt! I absolutely can NOT find this product locally, so when I ran out of my first bottle I was so happy to find it on Amazon. Worth a try if you're looking for a reliable LIGHT outdoor tanning product that smells great!

Best bronzing sunscreen ever!
I have been using this for 5+ years and highly recommend it. It goes on easy, doesn’t leave streaks or a greasy film, smells so good. I apply when doing yard work, sitting by the pool, attending outdoor activities etc. and have always get a beautiful bronze tan.

Mom tested for 30+ years
1st I would like to clarify about the comments on the sprayer not working, I see the confusion and it works just fine u have to twist the nozzle a few times in no specific way. There are no instructions but just play w it eventually it'll spray
The product itself is great for a little extra sun. It smells good, pleasant and not over bearing. Its oily but once you run it in it u have no idea it's on. I actually will put on too much cuz I prefer to know its on my skin. I have a nice even tan, my palms arnt tanned *idk if thats a common issue for things like this but I was worried about that and in case anyone else is, the answer is no*
Love it, I always remember seeing this in my moms bathroom or when we go to the beach so I tried it. She's a sun God and at 56 has very nice skin. Not like a leather couch at all. She's always had very soft beautiful skin.
