About this item

Explore and celebrate Korean culture in America through photographs and interviews by award-winning photographer Emanuel Hahn. . "Photographer Hahn's animated and vivid debut . . . is exceptional." - Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review. Since the first wave of Korean immigration in the early 1900s, Korean immigrants have opened and operated small businesses across the country that enrich the cultural fabric of our communities. Yet their stories are too often overlooked, as even today their existence is being pushed to the margins of American society. In Koreatown Dreaming, a project that began in Los Angeles and expanded to eight other cities, the lives of Korean immigrants are observed with care and admiration under Hahn's tender, capacious gaze.
