Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Cultural identity is constructed through dynamic interplay of daily discourses and cultural activities in specific social contexts. In other words, identity should be regarded not as a fixed abstraction, but as a result of ongoing processes of negotiation, in which past experiences and history of the “self” interact with present, everyday life. A “thick analysis” based on six-month participant observations and interviews in two Korean-American student communities -- at Rutgers University, NJ and at the University of Texas at Austin, TX -- was undertaken in order to situate the research participants’ identity construction processes. This study examines Korean-American students’ ethnic identity in terms of peer group, family, and media influence. By doing so, this study analyzes their identity negotiation processes as they engage in diverse cultural and communicative contacts. Although they were born and grew up in the United States, most of the interviewees at both universities expressed that they were Korean (or Korean-American) rather than American. Also, it was found that their family played an important role in teaching them Korean language and Korean customs in the early period of identity construction. More importantly, Korean videos and mobile phone were the main media through which these Korean-Americans learned about Korean culture and society. In addition, the Internet became another important medium for allowing Korean-American students more access to their heritage culture.
