Vicky Lyfoung retraces the history of a vibrant Asian ethnic group, blending rich documentation and personal stories in this gripping graphic history.

Long oppressed, the Hmong struggle to preserve their traditions and way of life in a homeland torn by war and strife. Their history is closely linked to France, which colonized Indochina in 1893 and for whom the Hmong worked tirelessly, first as opium suppliers and then as soldiers.

With great sensitivity and humor, the author tells the story of these people through the lens of her own family.

Lyfoung, Vicky: - Vicky Lyfoung was born in Villeneuve-la-Garenne into a humble Hmong family. She spent her childhood there, surrounded by her parents, her brothers, and her sisters, some of whom became great artists. During her studies, she constantly drew and chose to move towards visual arts options. Vicky continued to develop her favorite graphic techniques and tried digital drawing while working in parallel. With her sisters and friends, she also communicated through manga by offering humorous stories in fanzines sold in various Parisian salons. Currently, she is developing workshops to teach children to draw.
