Bamboo Son, by Pao Lor

|
By David Luhrssen Verified, Pao Lor, Bamboo Son
| Shepherd Express Verified
Pao Lor left Laos when he was five, but the country of his birth followed him to Wisconsin. His family were Hmong, an ethnic group mobilized to fight Laotian Communists in the Vietnam-era wars. When Laos fell to Communism, tens of thousands of Hmong fled to refugee camps in Thailand and from there, to the U.S. With Bamboo Son, Lor recounts his Green Bay adolescence and Wisconsin adulthood (he’s now associate dean of education at UW-La Crosse).
