Christine Hong, "Identity, Youth, and Gender in the Korean American Church" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)

Summary

In her new book, Identity, Youth, and Gender in the Korean American Church (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), Dr. Christine Hong explores the lives of female Korean American Mainline Christian adolescents. Hong's work, an exercise in feminist ethnography and practical theology, focuses on the difficulties these young women encounter as people who face marginalization within both broader American society and their own faith communities, and discusses ways to help them overcome these obstacles. Hong's sensitive analysis is sure to benefit anyone interested in religion, ethnicity, and youth in America.
