Primary Focus

This chapter explores the importance of family in 1980s immigration discourse. While family reunification has been the primary focus of immigration policy since 1965, in the context of the “immigration emergency,” some lawmakers viewed Asian and Latin American immigrant families as threats to American “family values” and the economy. This chapter traces backlash against multiculturalism and second-wave feminism as it arose in “family values” rhetoric. It also comparatively traces the “nation of immigrants” narrative in television shows that represented white ethnic immigrant families as industrious additions to the nation who overcame poverty with nothing but hard work. While these non-nuclear families sometimes seemed to be queer, the chapter argues that racially differentiated discourses about immigrant families reflected and created a flexible neoliberal narrative of “personal responsibility” that erased or glossed over the racial politics affecting Asian and Latin American immigrants and the global forces underscoring immigration.

Korean American Families

This chapter sets the context for our study, including highlights from a study conducted on the campus of the University of Illinois that served as the impetus for the study of Korean American teens and parents in Chicagoland. The chapter presents the findings—as well as new questions sparked by the findings—of that campus study in light of the prevailing narrative about Korean American (and Asian American) families from previous scholarly works about the nature of intergenerational relationships in immigrant families. The Chicagoland Korean American families featured in our study are also placed in the context of the local, national, and transnational conversations that were ongoing among, and about, Korean American and Korean families and teens at the time of the study.
