This study explores middle-class Korean immigrant mothers’ purposes and values reflected in their book selections in the U.S. Once a month for seven months, data about their book selections were collected from interviews, observation, and documents. The findings showed that these mothers preferred informational books as a way of overcoming minority status, and their book selections were restrained by their middle-class habitus. This study also revealed that the mothers used Korean or English books depending on their needs to teach Korean or American culture. On the basis of the findings, this paper suggests that it is necessary to understand the diverse educational purposes and values of immigrant parents and use multicultural literature in class to discuss race and social class issues that parents might emphasize less at home.
Abstract
This study explores middle-class Korean immigrant mothers’ purposes and values reflected in their book selections in the U.S. Once a month for seven months, data about their book selections were collected from interviews, observation, and documents. The findings showed that these mothers preferred informational books as a way of overcoming minority status, and their book selections were restrained by their middle-class habitus. This study also revealed that the mothers used Korean or English books depending on their needs to teach Korean or American culture. On the basis of the findings, this paper suggests that it is necessary to understand the diverse educational purposes and values of immigrant parents and use multicultural literature in class to discuss race and social class issues that parents might emphasize less at home.
