Summary:

Tragic relations between African Americans and Korean Americans began when the two cultures came together without having a sense of communion or a mutual understanding. In other words, this tragic relationship is the product of severe communication and cultural gaps. Socio-Cultural Conflict between African American and Korean American is the first book to base an integrated treatment of the relation between the two cultures with in-depth theorizing, survey, and analyses.
