ON THE COVER

A Khmu boy from the town of Luang Prabang in northern Laos. As memebers of a low status tribal group, the Khmu were subject to manipulation by ethnic Lao officials. Both adults and children were conscripted as laborers on public works. After the collapse of the royal Lao government, some Khmu came to the United States as refugees. Photograph by:
