Sommario/riassunto

This book studies Korean American girls between thirteen and nineteen and their formation with regard to self, gender, and God in the context



of Korean American protestant congregational life. It develops a hybrid methodology of de-colonial aims and indigenous research methods, aiming to facilitate transformative life in faith communities.
