  • Confronting Sa-I-Gu: Twenty Years After the Los Angeles Riots
    【특집】 Confronting Sa-i-gu: Twenty Years after the Los Angeles Riots Edward Taehan Chang (the Young Oak Kim Center for Korean American Studies) Twenty years ago on April 29, Los Angeles erupted and Koreatown cried as it burned. For six-days, the LAPD was missing in action as rioting, looting, burning, and killing devastated the city. The “not guilty” Rodney King verdict ignited anger and frustration felt by South Los Angeles residents who suffered from years of neglect, despair, hopelessness, injustice, and oppression.1) In the Korean American community, the Los Angeles riot is remembered as Sa-i-gu (April 29 in Korean). Korean Americans suffered disproportionately high economic losses as 2,280 Korean American businesses were looted or burned with $400 million in property damages.2) Without any political clout and power in the city, Koreatown was unprotected and left to burn since it was not a priority for city politicians and 1) Rodney King was found dead in his own swimming pool on June 17, 2012, shortly after publishing his autobiography The Riot Within: My Journey from Rebellion to Redemption Learning How We Can All Get Along, in April 2012. 2) Korea Daily Los Angeles, May 11, 1992. 2 Edward Taehan Chang the LAPD. For the Korean American community, Sa-i-gu is known as its most important historical event, a “turning point,” “watershed event,” or “wake-up call.” Sa-i-gu profoundly altered the Korean American discourse, igniting debates and dialogue in search of new directions.3) The riot served as a catalyst to critically examine what it meant to be Korean American in relation to multicultural politics and race, economics and ideology.

  • Korean American Creations and Discontents: Korean American Cultural Productions, Los Angeles, and Post-1992
    Korean American Creations and Discontents: Korean American Cultural Productions, Los Angeles, and Post-1992 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michelle Chang IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Josephine Lee, Co-Advisor Elliott Powell, Co-Advisor December 2020 © Michelle Chang 2020 i Acknowledgements As I write the last section of my dissertation, I find myself at a loss for words. 55,000+ words later and my writing fails me. While the dissertation itself is an overwhelming feat, this acknowledgements section feels equally heavy. Expressing my gratitude and thanks for every person who has made this possiBle feels quite impossiBle. And as someone who once detested both school and writing, there’s a lot of people I am thankful for. It is a fact that I could not completed a PhD, let alone a dissertation, on my own. Graduate school wears you down, and especially one framed By the 2016 presidential election and 2020 uprisings, rise of white supremacy, and a gloBal pandemic, graduate school is really hard and writing is the last thing you want to do. While I’ve spent days going through mental lists of people and groups who’ve helped me, this is not a complete list and my sincere apologies to anyone I’ve forgotten. First and foremost, this dissertation would not be where it is today without the guidance and support of my advisors Jo Lee and Elliott Powell. The hours of advice and words of wisdom I received from you both not only shaped my project and affirmed its direction, but they also reminded me of the realistic expectations we should have for ourselves.

  • 1 Certain Latitudes Yong Soon Min Five Sites, Some 15 Flights and Major Latitudinal (And Longitudinal) Shifts. Beginning At
    Certain Latitudes Yong Soon Min Five sites, some 15 flights and major latitudinal (and longitudinal) shifts. Beginning at the Tropic of Capricorn with the Korean-dominated garment districts of Bom Retiro and Bras in São Paulo; north to the 43rd parallel Soviet- planned city of Almaty nestled beneath the picturesque snowcapped Tien Shan mountains; below the 35th parallel to the bustling Korean business-lined alleys of Osaka under the din of a train line; back on the 43rd parallel to the lively city of Yanji with ubiquitous colorful, bilingual signage; and last but not least at the 34th parallel, driving through the sprawling multi-ethnic streets of Koreatown of Los Angeles. From a bountiful prism of images, these were some of the distilled sights/sites recorded by a research team consisting of myself as curator, an anthropologist, a filmmaker and a photographer-assistant. (Refer to Soo Young Chin's essay for why these five sites were selected and their socio-historic and demographic information. Additionally, a diasporic timeline runs throughout the catalog that tracks the significant events in the histories of the five sites as well as of North and South Korea. [For simplicity, I refer to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as North Korea and the Republic of Korea as South Korea.] The catalog also includes writings by contributors from each of these five sites.) Our whirlwind research travel was undeniably exhilarating and exhausting. The greatest challenge in such feverish border crossings is the inevitable challenges of linguistic and cultural translations. Frequently, since I have only English fluency, at each site I needed at least two sets of translators--one for Portuguese to Korean and another for Korean to English; the same would be the case with Russian to Korean to English or from Japanese to Korean to English.

Since the 1980s under the auspices of Japanese government’s“ 100,000 International Students Plan” Joseonjok as a sub-group of Chinese migrants have moved to Japan to seek out better life chances. During the course of their settlement in Japan, their identity has become multilayered because of their Chinese nationality and Korean ethnicity as well as their Japanese cultural competencies. Furthermore, their identity has been shaped by their multilingual and transnational experiences. To implement this research, I have reviewed Joseonjok researches performed in China, Japan, and South Korea. I have used qualitative methods combining in-depth interviews and participant observation which have been performed in the Tokyo area since 2016. I have also performed on-line surveys through the media sites of Joseonjok communities. The main purpose of this research is to examine how multilingualism and transnationalism affect the construction of Joseonjok identity in Japan. Joseonjok’s trilingual ability and their transnational activities among the three countries have affected the formation of the distinctive identity as an ethnic minority in Japan. The multilingual and transnational identity of Joseonjok in Japan keeps evolving through the process of formation, construction, and negotiation. Key Words : Migration, Identity, Joseonjok, Diaspora, Ethnicity, Transnationalism, Multilingualism ＊Ph.D.
