The chapter on "Division and Politics of National Representation" discusses the historical irony of a half-century of intense conflict and tension between the two Koreas, despite a strongly shared ethnic unity. African-Americans, Koreans, whites and Latinos sought to underscore an ethnic unity they hope marks a dramatic change since the 1992 riots that destroyed 2,000 Korean businesses and exposed wide rifts between Koreans and other minority groups.
