Professor Pyong Gap Min’s anthology presents the most comprehensive
examination of contemporary Korean communities in North America
from multidisciplinary approaches. While covering different aspects
of ethnic and immigrant experiences of Koreans, it offers nuanced
and sophisticated analyses of the internal diversity across class,
ethnicity, generation, gender, and religion within this seemingly
homogeneous immigrant group.

Technological University and co-author of The Asian American
Achievement Paradox*
