"Photographer Hahn's animated and vivid debut celebrates how Korean Americans have made their lives and livelihoods in enclaves across the country. . . . In snapshots paired with a brief essay about each establishment, Hahn takes a brilliant look at the resilience and ingenuity of immigrants who have battled economic hardship, racism, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic to carve out lives for themselves in America. . . . This is exceptional ."-- Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review

Synopsis
"Photographer Hahn's animated and vivid debut . . . is exceptional." - Publisher's Weekly , Starred Review Since the first wave of Korean immigration in the early 1900s, Korean immigrants have opened and operated small businesses across the country that enrich the cultural fabric of our communities. Yet their stories are too often overlooked, as even today their existence is being pushed to the margins of American society. In Koreatown Dreaming , a project that began in Los Angeles and expanded to eight other cities, the lives of Korean immigrants are observed with care and admiration under Hahn's tender, capacious gaze. Hahn's arresting photographs and narrativized interviews portray Korean small business owners as key figures not just in their neighborhoods but in their own lives, where they experience personal struggle, sacrifice, triumph, growth, and joy. Koreatown Dreaming is at once an anecdotal history of Korean immigration and a touching homage to Korean immigrant life. These intimate stories of over 50 small businesses are a testament to the American Dream, even while complicating the illusions of that promise, and of what it means to be American. Cities featured: Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Annandale, Virginia; New York, New York; Flushing, New York; Pal Park, New Jersey; Fort Lee, New Jersey; Dallas, Texas; Honolulu, Hawaii., Award-winning photographer Emanuel Hahn captures the vitality of Korean immigrant communities in Koreatown Dreaming, an anthology of photographs and narrativized interviews that feature small business owners from across the country. Through tender images and incisive storytelling, these subjects appear as key figures not just in their neighborhoods but in their own lives, experiencing sacrifice, triumph, and joy in their pursuit of the American Dream., Explore and celebrate Korean culture in America through photographs and interviews by award-winning photographer Emanuel Hahn.
