Historian David K. Yoo argues that religion is the most important aspect of this group's experience because its structures and sensibilities address the full range of human experience. Framing the book are three relational themes: religion & race, migration & exile, and colonialism & independence. In an engaging narrative, Yoo documents the ways in which religion shaped the racialization of Korean in the United States, shows how religion fueled the transnational migration of Korean Americans and its connections to their exile, and details a story in which religion intertwined with the visions and activities of independence even as it was also entangled in colonialism. The first book-length study of religion in Korean American history, it will appeal to academics and general readers interested in Asian American history, American religious history, and ethnic studies. 410 0$aAsian America. 606 $aKorean Americans$xReligion 606 $aKorean Americans$zHawaii$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aKorean Americans$zCalifornia$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKorean Americans$xReligion. 615 0$aKorean Americans$xHistory 615 0$aKorean Americans$xHistory 676 $a277.3/082089957 700 $aYoo$b David$01037213 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459180903321 996 $aContentious spirits$92458031 997 $aUNINA
