Korean, Asian, or American? : the identity, ethnicity, and autobiography of second-generation Korean American Christians / Jacob Yongseok Young. - 1 online resource (114 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 106-114).
Introduction -- Identity crisis of second-generation Korean Americans in the English-speaking ministry -- Korean American identity formation through illusionary reconstruction of autobiography -- The English-speaking ministry based on collective Korean American autobiography -- Conclusion.
"The voices of second-generation Korean Americans echo throughout the pages of this book, which is a sensitive exploration of their struggles with minority, marginality, cultural ambiguity, and negative perceptions. Born in the United States, they are still viewed as foreigners because of their Korean appearance. Raised in American society, they are still tied to the cultural expectations of their Korean immigrant parents. While straddling two cultures, these individuals search for understanding and attempt to rewrite their identity in a new way. Through autobiographical reconstruction and identity transformation, they form a unique identity of their own--a Korean American identity. This book follows a group of second-generation Korean American Christians in the English-speaking ministry of a large suburban Korean church. It examines their conflicts with the conservative Korean-speaking ministry ruling the church and their quest to achieve independence and ultimately become a multicultural church."--Publisher's website.
