Between 1903
and 1905, the
first wave of
Korean
immigrants
arrived in
Hawaii, forming
the beginning of
the Korean diaspora in the
United States.
Although they
numbered only
about 7,500,
their movement
had profound
implications for
American and
Japanese policy
toward Korea at
the end of the
Choson dynasty.
Based upon the
research that
resulted in his
book, The Korean
Frontier in
America:
Immigration to
Hawaii,
1896-1910, Dr.
Wayne
Patterson
presents how Asian
history and
Asian American
history are
interconnected
rather than
separate
fields of
inquiry.
