Full of rich and fascinating material on the Korean community in the New York area, this valuable book shows that, at the same time as Korean immigrants have become increasingly incorporated into American society, they also seek to preserve and promote a wide range of homeland cultural practices and traditions. --Nancy Foner author of One Quarter of the Nation: Immigration and the Transformation of America In this innovative and rigorous investigation of Koreans' engagement with transnational cultural linkages to their homeland, Pyong Gap Min finds that migrants' participation in activities that promote Korean ethnic culture facilitates both their assimilation to host country activities and their involvement in transnational cultural linkages embedded in the country of origin. This analysis significantly advances our understanding of Korean immigrants' adaptation to the US while providing a compelling challenge to classical theories of immigrant assimilation more generally. --Steven J. Gold author of The Israeli Diaspora
