"Minnesota has long been home to people from the Korean Peninsula—from early arrivals in the mid-twentieth century to their expanding family networks as well as students and professionals in the decades that followed."

 "About thirty thousand Koreans live in Minnesota today, many of them first-generation immigrants. Many more are part of the Korean adoptee community, its members more strongly connected to Minnesota than any other state. In this newest addition to the People of Minnesota series, Koreans in Minnesota introduces readers to the history of Korean immigration here, including settlement patterns and the formation of religious and social communities....Author Sooh-Rhee Ryu builds the narrative through interviews with community members and extensive archival work...." -from book
