Context[edit]

Does Hmong here refer to her ethnicity or the language she writes in? Is she a US citizen? Is Yang her married name? NickelShoe 20:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmong definitely refers to her ethnic origin. Her writing ( or what I've read of it) is in english. There are some Hmong words in performances of the kind she does, but are likewise predominantly english. I don't know for sure but based on her age she is probably a US citizen. The articles hyphenated her name -Lee Yang. It is not traditional for a Hmong woman to take her husband's surname. Do to the subject matter of some of her works she may not follow all the traditional ways. Swankwc (talk) 19:53, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Her enthnicity is Hmong. Her creative works are mostly english, but they are about Hmong culture, there are some Hmong words that are used therein. Her citizenship status I don't know. Hmong women don't traditionally take their husband's last name. An older Hmong man jokingly told me it was to avoid unnecessary paperwork. Swankwc (talk) 19:58, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
