AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the creation of the Korean community within the New York metropolitan area. In studying the emigration and immigration patterns that have produced this new community, Kim analyzes the various 'push' and 'pull' factors which have made Korean migration from the homeland to the United States seem desirable. This information is largely contained in part 1 of this four part document. Part 2 of this work explores the various economic bases of the Korean community in the New York metropolitan area. In part 3 Kim discusses the emergence of the Korean community in the New York metropolitan area, describing the influences of the church, secondary associations, politics, and the ethnic media as mechanisms of community integration. The final section, part 4, examines the basis of the New York Korean community in the historical development of Korea.
