Scholarly Book Review

Warring, D. F. (2006). A Korean-American story. Multicultural education, 14 (4). Retrieved December 1, 2007, from http://p2047-ezproxy.msu.edu.proxy2.cl.msu.edu:2047/login?url=http://proquest.umi.com.proxy2.cl.msu.edu:2047/pqdweb?did=1077229291&sid=1&Fmt=4&clientId=3552&RQT=309&VName=PQD.

This review gave a summary of the book throughout the review, commenting on how the book can be used to introduce people to bi-racial issues. It also mentions the fact that America is not a "melting pot" of cultures but instead a place that we have to work to live together. I thought this was interesting because I never thought about America like that. I now realize that it is hard for people to populate the same area while being completely different from each other. The review mentions hope and how hope is weaved into the story by having Mr. Lee teach Cooper about being part of two cultures and finding his identity.

Overall I thought the review gave me a lot of insight on the book. It opened up my eyes and let me see all that this book was offering.
