What the reading
10,000 Senora Lees: The Changing Gender Ideology of Korean-Latina-American Women
in the Diaspora offers to us are the diasporic influences that transcends
across Korean Latina Women from South America to them entering the U.S. The
focus of the reading was centered upon Korean-Latina-Women coming to the U.S.
from South America and being presented with different experiences and
perspectives on Korean culture and ethnic identity due to their diasporic
experiences. Because of diasporic displacements of Koreans, it is evident in
the article that having a shared or almost parallel perspective of Korean
culture and identity is very different among those presented here by
Korean-Latina-Women from South America and those within the United States. For
my own self, I have met cousins and older generations of relatives residing
outside of California having quite contrasting views about Hmong culture and
identity. Because of displacement, these differences are rooted in family
upbringings and community influence as well as the environment.
Question: How can we grapple with the different perspectives
in culture and ethnic identity in regards to the displacement of people? How
can we adapt when we change our environment to another that sees things
differently? Are we able to adapt?
