| |  | | | In Brief
Drawing on interviews with 50 Korean Americans at various class levels, this study examines "Black-Korean conflict" as an explanation for the disproportionate damage suffered during the 1992 Los Angeles riots by Korean-American merchants. "There are chapters on the riot, including a discussion of the destruction of half of the 3,000 Korean businesses in the city and of the buildup of tensions between African Americans and Korean Americans, as well as chapters on Korean immigration history and entrepreneurship." (Choice) Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Blue Dreams shows how Korean Americans, variously depicted as immigrant seekers after the American dream or as racist merchants exploiting African Americans, emerged at the crossroads of conflicting social reflections in the aftermath of the 1992 riots.
The situation of Los Angeles's Korean Americans touches on some of the most vexing issues facing American society today: ethnic conflict, urban poverty, immigration, multiculturalism, and ideological polarization. Combining interviews and deft sociohistorical analysis, Blue Dreams gives these problems a human face and at the same time clarifies the historical, political, and economic factors that render them so complex.
