Abstract Korean Americans are a North American ethnic minority. This file is made up of seventeen documents that span the mid-nineteenth century through the mid-1980s. The documents cover issues of immigrant history and adaptation, entrepreneurs and business, women and kinship. General history and survey of Korean-Americans are found in Kim, H.; Ryu; and Choy. Studies centered on the Korean community in Chicago discuss social and cultural adjustment and the importance of the family and kinship in this process. Other local studies look at the establishment of the Korean community in New York City, social networks in two Georgian Korean communities, and family and kinship networks in the Los Angeles. Several studies examine the changing status and roles of Korean women in the United States, and the particular role they play in maintaining ethnic identity. The rest of the studies examine Korean- American entrepreneurship and business and the work patterns of Korean families.
