Korean Quarterly was formed in 1997 by a group of adopted Koreans, first and second generation Korean Americans, and adoptive parents. Korean Quarterly provides independent and alternative reporting on issues of identity, racism, politics and the arts and is a forum for the ideas and creativity of the whole Korean American community, and focuses on the place where identity, creativity and culture intersect. We seek out unheard voices and forgotten perspectives. From the Twin Cities to Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Seoul, we have been there to give voice to a variety of viewpoints. Korean Quarterly is a non-profit/volunteer publication created by and for the Korean American community, including adopted Koreans and their families, 1.5/2nd generation Korean Americans and bi-racial/bi-cultural Korean American people
