The Protestant evangelical communication had been created in the Hmong language by the Far East Broadcasting Company specifically for war refugees in Laos. The Vietnamese Hmong related the content to their traditional expectation of salvation by a Hmong messiah-king who would lead them out of subjugation, and they appropriated the evangelical message for themselves. Today, The New Way (Kev Cai Tshiab) has some three hundred thousand followers in Vietnam. Tam T. T. Ngo reveals the complex politics of religion and ethnic relations in contemporary Vietnam and illuminates the dynamic interplay between local and global forces, socialist and post-socialist state building, cold war, and post–cold war antagonisms, Hmong transnationalism, and U.S.-led evangelical expansionism.  aVietnam -- Church history  aHmong (Asian people) -- Vietnam -- Religion  aProtestantism -- Vietnam4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/21/_676125604_140.jpgyCover Image
