The identity formation of a diaspora community is complex. The present study examines native language maintenance and ethnic identity of first-, 1.5-, and secondgeneration Korean-Americans in the United States, through the lenses of various identity construction and sociolinguistic theories. Identity and language are closely linked, and this relationship is bound by social contexts. Both identity and language are viewed as dynamic and mutable. The study also identifies social factors that affect linguistic behaviors and identity formation. The study further provides detailed analysis of the issues relevant to the conflict of identity in a current setting where pluralist ideology is strongly discouraged, as in the case of the United States. The perspective of English as an international language, and its power and influence on the formation of ethnic identity in the United States and Korea, are also addressed.La formación de identidad de una comunidad diaspórica es compleja. El presente estudio se dedica a examinar el mantenimiento de la lengua nativa y la identidad étnica de la primera, 1.5 y segunda generación de coreano-norteamericanos en los Estados Unidos, considerando las diferentes teorías de la construcción de identidad y sociolingüística. La identidad y la lengua están estrechamente relacionadas, y dicha relación está ligada por los factores sociales que afectan los comportamientos lingüísticos y la formación de identidad. Asimismo, el estudio ofrece un análisis detallado de las cuestiones relacionadas al conflicto de identidad en el contexto actual donde la ideología pluralista es rotundamente rechazada, así como en los Estados Unidos. Se examinan, además, la perspectiva de inglés como una lengua internacional, y su poder e influencia en la formación de identidad en los Estados Unidos y en Corea.

“…In the growing number of studies that explore Asian‐American second‐generation religion, the central site where religion is examined is not the family, but the congregation or equivalent religious organization (Abusharaf 1998; George 1998; Kurien 1999; Yang 1999; Cha 2001; Chai 2001; Kim and Kim 2001; Chen 2002; Kurien 2002; Dhingra 2003; Kim and Pyle 2004; Jeung 2005). Studies about family in the lives of second‐generation immigrants generally center on discussions of ethnic identity (Hong and Min 1999; Min and Kim 1999; Thai 1999; Kibria 2002; Killian and Hegtvedt 2003; Lee and Zhou 2004).…”

This article examines second-generation Asian Americans' explanations of the significant influences on their own religious identities. Data include interviews (N = 73) with college-aged Asian Americans from different religious traditions and ethnic backgrounds. Respondents viewed families as the most significant influence on current religiosity. Mothers and fathers were mentioned most often, followed by extended kin, siblings, and relatives, who acted as what we call "reinforcers," "substitutes," or "contrasts" to the roles that parents played in religious socialization. These roles occurred along two religious configurations within families: heterogeneous or homogeneous degrees of religious commitment and religious affiliation. Directions for future research and contributions to the religious transmission literature follow.

“…Eliud's experiences embody the barriers to incorporation that immigrants and other minorities often perceive. Similar to Asian Americans in Dhingra's (2003) study of ethnic organizations, in spite of attaining an upper-middle-class status and structural incorporation, white racism and American nativism prevented him from feeling incorporated, confounding his own interpretations of his migration, especially considering that U.S. settlement had tangibly benefited his daughter. The decline in Eliud's emotional quality of life would eventually lead him to reassess his settlement decisions, opening the door to Island resettlement.…”

In this article I examine the settlement experiences of middle‐class Puerto Ricans in the U.S. mainland. Data for the study come from open‐ended interviews with 40 middle‐class Puerto Ricans who came to the U.S. mainland, 20 of whom remained and 20 of whom returned and resettled in Puerto Rico. I examine their subjective interpretations of incorporation and the conditions under which they resettle in Puerto Rico. Findings reveal that in spite of occupational and economic integration into the U.S. mainstream, migration and U.S. settlement result in dislocations among Puerto Ricans, particularly regarding separation from family and kin networks and experiences with racialization and exclusion. Puerto Ricans see themselves as members of transnational families, yet, the struggles of leading dual lives between mainland and Puerto Rican societies result in settlement decisions that reflect desires to live locally with roots in one place instead of feeling split between the two. Experiences with U.S. racism complicate these decisions. Findings illustrate the various patterns of attachments to place, or emotional embeddedness, that impact the circumstances under which Puerto Ricans engage in alternating periods of mainland and Island settlement. The implications for assimilation theories are discussed.
