| New Urban Immigrants: The Korean Community in New York Subjects: Korean Americans -- New York (N.Y.); New York (N.Y.) -- Social conditions; United States -- Emigration and immigration; Korea (South) -- Emigration and immigration; Insofar as the new immigration is both structurally and functionally distinct from the old immigration of peasants and artisans, the author dispenses with the traditional paradigm of a folk-to-urban transition and focuses instead on such macroscopic features as the internal political and economic problems, social structure, and foreign policy of the homeland; on the international trade, economic structure, and immigration policy of the host country; and on the special qualities of immigrants who are urban, educated, and middle class. |
