This issue of the Manoa Journal is a centennial celebration of literature of Korean Americans. Included are excerpts of books by early immigrants including Younghill Kang, Mary Paik Lee, Kim Ronyoung; and pieces by later generations such as Richard E. Kim, Connie Kang, and Heinz Insu Fenkl; and more recent immigrants like Chris McKinney and Don Lee. A poignant memoir piece by Chang Rae Lee is a fresh addition to the collection, as are pieces by less familiar authors. The wide format book is llustrated profusely with photos of art and images of Korea, food, details from Korean objets, art and clothing, and as a whole, speaks to the strong and ongoing cultural unity and pride of Koreans in America.
