Title: This is not the Korea I know
Review: I can't evaluate the truthfulness of Ms. Kim's story here, but readers should not draw broad conclusions about Korea's culture and people from this book. Like Ms. Kim, I'm an American of mixed Korean/Caucasian blood. I grew up in Korea, living there from the mid 1960s to 1980. I experienced acceptance and respect in Korea--from my own Korean relatives, friends, aquaintances, and also from people I didn't know. No culture is completely free of prejudice, but I often feel that Korea is misunderstood by Americans. I'm afraid that this book perpetuates misunderstanding of a nation and a culture that I personally know and love.
