Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this new age of social media, the role of online ethnic networks is as important as offline ethnic networks in helping immigrants adjust to their new country. In this book, Oh takes the online female Korean-American ""MissyUSA"" community under consideration to investigate the ways in which one group of immigrants shares information about the rules of American social institutions and works together to navigate their new society. |
