STATELESS Above: Hmong communities in the US continuing to commemorate their culture through festivals and events the Hmong became self-sufficient. They now grow large quantities of previously scarce vegetables, like lettuce, and tropical varieties of fruit like cupuaçu, which is oblong, has a white pulp and is found in the Amazon basin. And academic studies have shown the Hmong here to have more robust physical health and less pessimism about their circumstances than their brethren in the United States, where some Hmong communities have had difficulty adapting to cities or suburbs and have been plagued by suicides and health problems. The rhythms of existence here seem far removed from the cities where many Hmong have settled in the United States or France. On the weekends, young Hmong play pétanque, a game that, like bocce, consists of pitching metal balls at a target. Older men, sipping bottles of Heineken, boast of jungle hunts for peccaries and tapirs. As in any small village, some younger Hmong complain of boredom and isolation. Hmong Lee, 40, who moved to mainland France for 10 years before returning, decided to settle for something between the farm founded by his parents and the bustle of a European city. He now works at a furniture store in the capital, Cayenne. Hmong Lee says that it isn’t like Paris, but being in South America has allowed him to be more free to be Hmong, and away from the discriminations that Hmong in the countries like the France, Australia and U.S. might be facing. 44 <strong>TRAVERSE</strong>
