On the twentieth anniversary of both the founding of Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance (KIWA) and the L.A. civil unrest,
Koreatown: A Contested Community at a Crossroads takes stock of changes over the past two decades, lifts up new challenges, and charts the possibilities for the next twenty years.
A collaboration between KIWA and the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE), the report tells the story of a diverse, immigrant, working-class community caught at the crossroads of globalization and urban redevelopment – forces threatening to displace many. Koreatown has become a highly sought-after global neighborhood with new developments and businesses that are often controlled by foreign investors.
Original Title:
Koreatown: A Contested Community at a Crossroads
