Abstract:
|
This paper examines experiences of a group of low-status 1.5- and second-generation Korean Americans who have dropped out of their neighborhood urban high schools in New York. Ties to first-generation parents and co-ethnic networks are extremely important for second-generation Korean American youths; however, it is also critical to distinguish socioeconomic differences within Korean American communities and for whom the ethnic enclaves may be more beneficial. While Korean Americans have been touted for their middle-class entrepreneurial success, the Korean American high school dropouts’ families are not entrepreneurs themselves but rather work for co-ethnic entrepreneurs. In the context of limited socioeconomic backgrounds and co-ethnic support, Korean American high school dropouts negotiate and resist their first-generation parents and sanctioned values as a way to endure social and economic barriers that they face at home, school, and neighborhoods. |

| Overlooked and Underserved: Low-Status 1.5- and Second-Generation Korean American High School Dropouts The rapid growth and diversity of immigrants over the last few decades have led to intensified debate about the post-1965 immigrants’ adaptation to and impact on American society.
