This anthology, published by Columbia University Press, is reviewed by Robert Fouser

Memoir of early immigrant experiences in America and influence of Christian faith in a remarkable woman who rose through difficult cultural mores to become founder/president of Korea’s first vocational school.

A lovely illustrated collection of Korean proverbs, including such gems as “There is a flaw even in jade…”.

A fictional account of two women who fight through years of personal and national devastation, from the Japanese occupation through the Korean War, surviving with tenacity.

An anthology of 12 post-1945 Korean fiction, in translation, includes brief biographies of each author.

This slim volume about the history of Korean Christianity and culture provides a surprisingly thorough cultural and historical overview of Korea, including charming signs of the times, such as “modern technologic advances” of the 1970s.

Poems, essays and stories of Korean American immigrants in the period noted.
