Transnational Communities in the Smartphone Age: The Korean
Community in the Nation's Capital examines the durable ties
immigrants maintain with the home country and focuses in particular
on their transnational cultural activities. In light of changing
technologies, especially information and communication technologies
(ICTs), which enable a faster, easier, and greater social and
cultural engagement with the home country, this book argues that
middle-class immigrants, such as Korean immigrants in the
Washington-Baltimore region, sustain more regular connections with
the homeland through cultural, rather than economic or political,
transnational activities. Though not as conspicuous and contentious
as other forms of transnational participation, cultural
transnational activities may prove to be more lasting and also
serve as a backbone for maintaining longer-lasting connections and
identities with the home country.
In Second-Generation Korean Experiences in the United States and
Canada, Pyong Gap Min and Samuel Noh have compiled a comprehensive
examination of 1.5- and second-generation Korean experiences in the
United States and Canada. As the chapters demonstrate, comparing
younger-generation Koreans with first-generation immigrants
highlights generational changes in many areas of life. The
contributors discuss socioeconomic attainments, self-employment
rates and business patterns, marital patterns, participation in
electoral politics, ethnic insularity among Korean Protestants, the
relationship between perceived discrimination and mental health,
the role of ethnic identity as stress moderator, and responses to
racial marginalization. Using both quantitative and qualitative
data sources, this collection is unique in its examination of
several different aspects of second-generation Korean experiences
in the United States and Canada. An indispensable source for those
scholars and students researching Korean Americans or Korean
Canadians, the volume provides insight for students and scholars of
minorities, migration, ethnicity and race, and identity formation.
