5.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful description of Korean immigrant families,
By A Customer
This review is from: Changes and Conflicts: Korean Immigrant Families in New York (Part of the New Immigrants Series) (Paperback)
I've long searched for a book like this since I started graduate school about 5 years ago. It's a wonderfully rich qualitative work examining family relations, including children, parents, and the elderly. This book has served me well in better understanding Korean immigrant families. I was especially impressed with his writing on marital relations among Korean immigrant spouses. I offer my highest recommendation for anyone who wants to get a taste of immigrant family life in Asian America.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book, fascinating series,
This review is from: Changes and Conflicts: Korean Immigrant Families in New York (Part of the New Immigrants Series) (Paperback)
'Changes and Conflicts: Korean Immigrant Families in New York' by Pyong Gap Min is one of the books I had to read for my Anthropology of Migration class this past semester. It is one of the books in the New Immigrant Series, and while we only had two of the books in the series assigned for class, I would definitely pick up any others I might come across, because they were both great books. ...For full review, please visit me (Les Livres) on Blogger!

This review is from: Changes and Conflicts: Korean Immigrant Families in New York (Part of the New Immigrants Series) (Paperback)
This is a great book! Written by a Sociologist at a University right next to one of the largest Korean immigrant communities in the world, it provides very insightful writings on the Korean experience in America. Lots of things can also be applied to other East Asian families who migrate to NY. Provides a great explanations for how Korean groups form, and also the reasoning and purpose for certain activities for new immigrants (like forming church groups) and how this results. A quick read, but very informative. Also gets into gender role change, so definitely a great book to read if studying gender of East Asian families in general
