This caused ongoing conflicts with customers in black neighborhoods of New York City, with white suppliers at Hunts Point Produce Market, and with city government agencies that regulated small business activities. In addition, because of the times, Korean immigrants had very little contact with their homeland. Korean immigrants in the area were highly segregated from both the mainstream New York society and South Korea. However, after the 1990 Immigration Act, Korean immigrants with professional and managerial backgrounds have found occupations in the mainstream economy. Korean community leaders also engaged in active political campaigns to get Korean candidates elected as city council members and higher levels of legislative positions in the area. The Korean community's integration into mainstream society also increasingly developed stronger transnational ties to their homeland and spurred the inclusion of \"everyday Korean life\" in the NY-NJ area.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eTransnational Cultural Flow from Home\u003c\/i\u003e examines New York Korean immigrants' collective efforts to preserve their cultural traditions and cultural practices and their efforts to transmit and promote them to New Yorkers by focusing on the Korean cultural elements such as language, foods, cultural festivals, and traditional and contemporary performing arts.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  This publication was supported by the 2022 Korean Studies Grant Program of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2022-P-009).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e  1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  2 The Korean Community in Greater New York\u003cbr\u003e  3 Transnational Cultural Events Held in the Korean Community in 2001 and 2014\u003cbr\u003e  4 Korean-Language Schools\u003cbr\u003e  5 The Movement to Promote Korean to American Schools\u003cbr\u003e  6 Korean Food\u003cbr\u003e  7 Korean Cultural Festivals and Parades\u003cbr\u003e  8 Korean Traditional Performing Arts\u003cbr\u003e  9 Korean Contemporary Music and Dance Performances\u003cbr\u003e  10 Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e  Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e  Notes\u003cbr\u003e  References\u003cbr\u003e  Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52638408933656,"sku":"9781978827141","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/transnational-cultural-flow-from-home-korean-community-in-greater-new-york-paperback-softback-9781978827141","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
