An anthology of Korean American literature designed for the bilingual education program of the State of Washington is a collection of seven essays and two poems selected from three sources: the newsletters of Korean community organizations in the Seattle-Tacoma area, a Korean language newspaper (the "Korea Times"), and a collection of award-winning essays, by Korean American students, published by Korea's public information office. It is designed to provide a glimpse of Korean American culture as it is evolving from two interacting forces: the Korean heritage and the American environment. The first five essays and the two poems, originally written in Korean, are translated into English, and the last two essays are translated from English into Korean to provide a Korean-English facing text suitable for use in the Korean bilingual education programs, mainstream language arts classes, and/or ethnic literature classes in secondary schools.
