Does anyone know anything about Korean American History of Hawaii? Or have good resources where I can find about struggles they had regarding "justice" which may include civil rights, workers rights etc...? I have to write a 7 page paper and this shit is like impossible... It's due early december, but since it's 25 percent of my grade and I can barely write a paragraph about it, I was just curious if anyone had a clue about this sort of thing...

Time period? We talking WW2, Korean War or ??

I'm just curious - Korean American? In Hawaii?

Am I missing something, was there some significant event I don't know about?

your paragraph will have more information then what is written about hawaii

Possibly referring to treatmeant of Korean Americans during WWII? Similar to the treatment of Japanese Americans that were interned during the war?

I would not assume the assignment is only targetting WWII and beyond. I recommend doing an exhaustive web search on every keywod combination you can think of that might tie to the topic followed by a fair amount of time in your university library. Also check into newspaper archives for Hawaii newspapers going back as far as you can. This whole assignment sounds like a research exercise as much as a topical discussion. Good luck!

After talking to my professor, he said that there is a lot of information about it, but didn't elaborate as to where I could find it and such, the school library had jack shit. I need to focus more in terms of the agricultural struggles with the working conditions and treatment of workers in the sugar cane fields... The majority of my paper will have to predate WW2 seeing as how all I could write about it "The Koreans were treated like the Japanese. The Koreans hate the Japanese. That pissed them off. Boo hoo."

Maybe check out the Korean American Historical Society. They may have information going back to 19th century immigration. Try a Google search on Hawaii Korean Americans and see if anything useful comes up.

here's a bunch of timelines and crap that might lead you in the right direction (none of this shit is a credible resource)

the top link has a bunch of family stories with direct quotes. if you got a 7 page paper i recommend just filling that fucker up with long quotes and let that be that loelz

apparently some dude wrote a book too:

The Korean Frontier in America: Immigration to Hawaii, 1896-1910; published in 1988 by Professor Wayne Patterson.

I have that book and the top link as 2 of my resources punx, how sad huh?

Hi Shew..

Once upon a time a magic fairy visited the earth and gave man the magic of "Teh Google"...
And it was good.. and man danced and sang and wept hot tears of joy..
Angels sang
And "Koreans in Hawaii" could be easily located with over 500 hits in a simple search.

l2, alot of professors don't like research done on the Internet, they much prefer data bases

OMG.. shew did not mention sex in this posting.

North Korea and Hawaii have crabs. Be careful.
