Overview

In 1903, about 100 Koreans landed in Hawaii to work on sugar cane plantations. More followed, and soon Koreans were coming to the United States mainland as well, both to escape political oppression in their homeland and to find new opportunities in America. The Immigrant Experience series celebrates our shared ethnic heritage. Each volume in the series examines a specific immigrant group's history and culture, and follows the achievements of its people up to the present.

Discusses the history, culture, and religion of the Koreans; factors encouraging their emigration, and their acceptance as an ethnic group in North America.
