We're delving into Chapter 7 of "Korean American Families in Immigrant America: How Teens and Parents Navigate Race" by Sumi Okazaki and Nancy Abelmann. In this episode, we focus on the Hyun family, who immigrated to the US in 2003 with their teenage sons. Their story offers a raw and authentic glimpse into the challenges of late immigration, cultural adaptation, and family dynamics. The chapter provides a unique perspective on the immigrant experience, following the family's journey from their initial struggles to a 10-year follow-up. Through the Hyuns' story, we reflect on the complexities of immigrant life, generational differences, and the ongoing process of finding one's place in a new country. Join us as we unpack these multifaceted experiences, drawing parallels to our own lives and gaining deeper insights into the Korean American immigrant experience.
