While many sons and daughters of Korean immigrants outwardly conform to the stereotyped image of the upwardly mobile, highly educated super-achiever, the realities and challenges that the children of Korean immigrants face in their adult lives as\u003cbr\u003etheir immigrant parents grow older and confront health issues that are far more complex. In \u003ci\u003eCaring Across Generations\u003c\/i\u003e, Grace J. Yoo and Barbara W. Kim explore how earlier experiences helping immigrant parents navigate American society have prepared Korean American children for negotiating and redefining the traditional gender norms, close familial relationships, and cultural practices that their parents expect them to adhere to as they reach adulthood. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 137 second and 1.5 generation Korean Americans, Yoo \u0026amp; Kim explore issues such as their childhood experiences, their interpreted cultural traditions and values in regards to care and respect for the elderly, their attitudes and values regarding care for aging parents, their observations of parents facing retirement and life changes, and their experiences with providing care when parents face illness or the prospects of dying. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA unique study at the intersection of immigration and aging, \u003ci\u003eCaring Across Generations\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new look at the linked lives of immigrants and their families, and the struggles and triumphs that they face over many generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace J.
