This book explores the ways through which Korean American men
demonstrate and navigate their manhood within a US context that has
historically sorted them into several limiting, often emasculating,
stereotypes. In the US, Korean men tend to be viewed as passive,
non-athletic, and asexual (or hypersexual). They are often burdened
with very specific expectations that run counter to traditional
tropes of US masculinity. According to the normative script of
masculinity, a "man" is rugged, individualistic, and powerful-the
antithesis of the US social construction of Asian American men. In
an interdisciplinary fashion, this book probes the lives of Korean
American men through the lenses of religion and sports. Though
these and other outlets can serve to empower Korean American men to
resist historical scripts that limit their performance of
masculinity, they can also become harmful. Mark Chung Hearn
utilizes ethnography, participant observation, and interviews
conducted with second-generation Korean American men to explore
what it means to be an Asian American man today.
