Korean American studies scholar Edward Chang brings into view an important cornerstone of Korean American history in this book, which excavates America's first Korean "village," Pachappa Camp in Riverside, California. Affectionately referred to as "Dosan's Republic," this earliest Koreatown was where Dosan Ahn Chang Ho's utopian vision of self-cultivation, honest and respected work, and political activism were developed and practiced.
