Yet their stories are too often overlooked, as even today their existence is being pushed to the margins of American society. In \u003ci\u003eKoreatown Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e, a project that began in Los Angeles and expanded to eight other cities, the lives of Korean immigrants are observed with care and admiration under Hahn's tender, capacious gaze. Hahn's arresting photographs and narrativized interviews portray Korean small business owners as key figures not just in their neighborhoods but in their own lives, where they experience personal struggle, sacrifice, triumph, growth, and joy.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eKoreatown Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e is at once an anecdotal history of Korean immigration and a touching homage to Korean immigrant life.
