Second-Generation Korean Experiences in the United States and Canada, Pyong Gap Min and Samuel Noh have compiled a comprehensive examination of 1.5- and second-generation Korean experiences in the United States and Canada. As the chapters demonstrate, comparing younger-generation Koreans with first-generation immigrants highlights generational changes in many areas of life. The contributors discuss socioeconomic attainments, self-employment rates and business patterns, marital patterns, participation in electoral politics, ethnic insularity among Korean Protestants, the relationship between perceived discrimination and mental health, the role of ethnic identity as stress moderator, and responses to racial marginalization. Using both quantitative and qualitative data sources, this collection is unique in its examination of several different aspects of second-generation Korean experiences in the United States and Canada. An indispensable source for those scholars and students researching Korean Americans or Korean Canadians, the volume provides insight for students and scholars of minorities, migration, ethnicity and race, and identity formation.

Industry Reviews
Bringing scholarship on the Korean-American and Korean-Canadian new second generation up to the level of that documenting other ethnic and nationality groups, Pyong Gap Min and Samuel Noh’s Second-Generation Korean Experiences in the United States and Canada is a groundbreaking volume. Its 13 chapters by leading scholars from multiple disciplines and perspectives examine numerous aspects of this group’s intergenerational adaptation including economic achievement, employment patterns, experience of racial discrimination, psychological well-being, co-ethnic involvement, voting behavior, religious participation and a host of other fascinating topics. In total, the book provides unprecedented insight into the experience of Koreans in North America. Required reading for scholars in social science, ethnic studies and international migration.
