Dear Friend:

We are pleased to share with you that Sahang Hee Hahn, a junior (17 yo)
member of ICAS and a senior at Radnor High School, Bryn Mawr,
Pennsylvania, authored the subject paper, "Identity and Growth: A 
Pressing Concern -The Presence of Second-Generation Marginalism in 
Korean-American Adolescents" (ICAS Lecture No 2000-0818-SHH).

She argues that " ... The issue of 2nd generation marginalism has not 
been identified as a serious worry of the Korean-American community. 
For many years there has been a growing concern over the
'Americanization', or loss of Korean culture in the second generation,
but their feelings of marginalism have gone largely unrecognized. 
However the disconcerting truth is that second generation Korean-
Americans have received their own burden of marginalism ...   the 
Korean-American community must exert all its energy into finding the 
solution. For one must always remember that the future of the Korean-
American community only lies with the current generation indirectly; it 
truly lies with the next generation, the young people of today".

A complete text of her working draft is posted on the "ICAS Lectures" 
page of the ICAS website:
