"Korean-American Youth Identity and 9/11: An Examination of
Korean-American Ethnic Identity in Post-9/11 America" by Professor
Heerak Christian Kim of Asia Evangelical College and Seminary is a
very important book in the area of ethnic studies in post-9/11
America. Although many books have been written on 9/11, there has
not been adequate examination of its impact for particular ethnic
groups. Even scholars of ethnic studies seem to ignore 9/11 as an
event that is incidental to self-understanding and group identity
of America's ethnic groups. This book is a step in the right
direction in computing 9/11 into the study of ethnic identity and
experience in America. This book specifically focuses on
Korean-American identity, particularly in regards to
Korean-American youth. However, this scholarly examination is
further significant in its sensitivity to the ethnic experience of
other Asian-Americans and in its examination of Korean-American
identity as negotiated in the context of the larger dominant
culture of America. And this book contributes further to the
understanding of ethnic identity in the United States by devoting
an important chapter to the dynamics of inter-ethnic relations
between Korean-Americans and African-Americans. Besides being a
monumental contribution to the understanding of ethnic identity in
comparative terms, this book represents an important contribution
to Korean-American studies. This book is the most up-to-date book
on Korean-American youth identity and provides the scholarly
community with valuable information regarding which direction to
take future research regarding Korean-American identity and the
Asian-American experience in the United States. As Asian-Americans
are rising in terms of number and influence, the need for
understanding their identity becomes important on academic, social,
political, economic, and intellectual levels. This book is a very
important book to meet the rising need that has been largely
neglected in academia and in the publishing industry thus far. This
book is an essential addition to all serious university libraries,
public libraries, and private personal libraries of educated
individuals.
