Blue Dreams: Korean Americans and the Los Angeles Riots

Rating:
Summary: Great research tool, pleasure reading
Review: I first read this book as part of research for a paper, but I would recommend it to those who are looking to gain more information about what really happened in the 92 LA riots, from the perspective that was neglected at the time.

Rating:
Summary: Turgid and slow
Review: Researching the history of race relations between Korean Americans and other groups, I purchased this book because of its subject matter. Although it describes some key events in the LA riots of the early '90's, the writing leaves a great deal to be desired and the authors' thesis is not well-argued.
