"Nancy Abelmann's stunning portrait of Korean American university life will cause us to rethink our understanding of multiculturalism and diversity in the academy. This valuable and sobering account of one minority group's experience also speaks more broadly to the intersection of race, religion, and identity, revealing the paradoxical notions on which American diversity is based. Don't miss this book!"--Cathy Small, aka Rebekah Nathan, author of "My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student"
