Description

What I like about this book is that it takes history seriously and makes an argument for how the socialization/enculturation of Korean women is influenced by the period of the Yi Dynasty. Kim weaves theory and empirical data together in a way that I found relatively helpful. Moreover, she deals with class issues that are continuously overlooked in works such as these. The book is so well organized that I could hardly put it down once I started to read. Her conclusions include a feminist critique and an evaluation of the pathology that ilse women carry on account of both the history of the Yi Dynasty and the present-day Korean immigrant church in The us. This critique is especially valuable because an indigenous sociologist is making it. -Linda E. Thomas, Iliff School of Theology Kim explores the religious have an effect on, particularly that of the Korean Methodist Church, on the lives of Korean immigrant ilse (first generation) in the United States. To these kind of women, The us is new soil, and they want to adjust to a different cultural and social environment. Because of this, they may be puzzled and frustrated. As a community center, the Korean church plays a significant role in their lives. Kim examines the church, to resolve if it is helpful or detrimental to these women as they adjust to their lives in the United States.
