INTRODUCTION The women of Laos produce many kinds of cloth. Each ethnic group has its own styles, traditionally with geometric patterns that are embroidered, sewn, or woven into the fabric. A war in the 1960s and 1970s, however, drove many Laotians to refugee camps in neighboring Thailand, where an entirely new style of embroidery with pictoral scenes developed. The Hmong, Laos largest hilltribe minority group, did most of this new embroidery. A Hmong woman whose identity is unknown produced a series of especially large, fine storycloths. Her folk-art history of the Hmong appears on the following pages, and her themes of war and exodus introduce this book, which is called OUT OF LAOS.
