Book synopsis

My project, Listen, is intended to communicate§stories of adopted Koreans, who were sent to Western§cultures, face many challenges in finding their§cultural identities. It was not their choice to leave§their native culture and birth families, and this§makes it especially difficult for them to figure out§who they are and how they can define themselves.§Since they are living as Westerners with Asian§appearance, their identity reside in the gap between§their physical appearances and the culture(s) in§which they live. Six adopted Koreans volunteered§their stories their experiences as adopted Koreans.§In reading their stories, I can reflect on some of my§experiences as a foreigner living and studying in a§Western culture. As I am a Korean and consider myself§a foreigner, it is a personal as well as a§professional interest to study the intersection of§culture and identity.
