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.
