Yet their stories are too often overlooked, as even today their existence is being pushed to the margins of American society. In \u003ci\u003eKoreatown Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e, a project that began in Los Angeles and expanded to eight other cities, the lives of Korean immigrants are observed with care and admiration under Hahn's tender, capacious gaze. Hahn's arresting photographs and narrativized interviews portray Korean small business owners as key figures not just in their neighborhoods but in their own lives, where they experience personal struggle, sacrifice, triumph, growth, and joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eKoreatown Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e is at once an anecdotal history of Korean immigration and a touching homage to Korean immigrant life. These intimate stories of over 50 small businesses are a testament to the American Dream, even while complicating the illusions of that promise, and of what it means to be American. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cities featured: Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Annandale, Virginia; New York, New York; Flushing, New York; Pal Park, New Jersey; Fort Lee, New Jersey; Dallas, Texas; Honolulu, Hawaii.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emanuel Hahn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0762484586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780762484584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Running Press Adult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 7.56w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023 pg. 137","brand":"Emanuel Hahn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44170062266623,"sku":"9780762484584","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddc7abd9-cd60-4c91-aad5-86857d3d3a7d.jpg?v=1689656580","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/koreatown-dreaming-emanuel-hahn-9780762484584","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
