| Abstract | Kao Kalia Yang presents her experiences growing up in the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp in Thailand, which held many thousands of Hmong families who had to flee after the Secret War in Laos, which was fought during the Vietnam War. Four-year-old Kalia, never having known life outside the camp, one day is taken to climb a tree with her father, who shows her the world beyond the fence. |
