The identity of Asian Americans as racialized subjects, has been informed and shaped by mainstream and widely accepted narratives that have operated for centuries to marginalize racial and ethnic minority individuals and communities. As a nation of immigrants, the United States for centuries has been the site of heated political stalemates, violent uprisings, and justice movements in the face of diverse and contending racial groups vying for social and economic resources and political voice and agency, to name a few. As such, dominant ideologies are utilized by the media and political institutions to structure and organize the general populace so as to protect vested political, social, and economic interests. Toward this end, narratives have been employed to caricature Asian Americans in very specific ways and for very particular aims.

520 $a The identity of Asian Americans as racialized subjects, has been informed and shaped by mainstream and widely accepted narratives that have operated for centuries to marginalize racial and ethnic minority individuals and communities. As a nation of immigrants, the United States for centuries has been the site of heated political stalemates, violent uprisings, and justice movements in the face of diverse and contending racial groups vying for social and economic resources and political voice and agency, to name a few. As such, dominant ideologies are utilized by the media and political institutions to structure and organize the general populace so as to protect vested political, social, and economic interests. Toward this end, narratives have been employed to caricature Asian Americans in very specific ways and for very particular aims.
520 $a Through a constructionist hermeneutic and drawing from Asian American studies that nuances the descriptive and interpretive aims of practical theology, this dissertation examines Asian Americans as racialized subjects and more particularly by scrutinizing dominant narratives that render an ambivalent status for Asian Americans as the model minority and simultaneously as perpetual foreigner. More specifically, this dissertation presents qualitative research in order to convey the deleterious effects of these narratives on second generation Korean American Christians (SGKAC) and their grief experiences related to the Korean War and migration. By juxtaposing grief experiences with popular and fully operationalized narratives, I demonstrate the disenfranchising effects of these narratives and argue that SGKACs are disenfranchised from their grief. Additionally, I develop a pastoral theological response to SGKACs by expounding upon lament as a liberative faith resource and expand the contours of lament scholarship in pastoral studies by articulating the conscientizing work and function of lament as a faith resource. By living into lament, individuals and communities whose grief is disenfranchised connect with pain and loss from which they have been disconnected and detached. In chapter one I describe the context of the Korean War and articulate the related experience of grief and loss. Additionally, I include key definitions, the scope and limitations of my project, as well as a description of my primary audience. Chapter two provides an overview of pastoral theological literature on war, second generation Korean Americans, immigration, disenfranchised grief, and lament as it relates to war and immigration.
520 $a Chapter three elaborates upon the qualitative and interpretive methods for this project including narrative inquiry, the qualitative research method employed in this project. This chapter also presents a theological reflective praxis method informed by Richard Osmer, Emmanuel Lartey, and Peter Phan. Finally, I present the interview data around the themes prominent for the discussion about disenfranchised grief and will build a case to expose the sociocultural factors implicated therein.
520 $a Incorporating the contributions of ethnic studies, postcolonial theory, and family systems theory, chapter four discusses the prominence of essential themes that emerged from the interview data and were mentioned in the previous chapter. The model minority myth, honorary whiteness, and ethnic confusion will be presented as profoundly shaping of the experience of Asian America. This chapter will also address representations of the United States as Savior, superior to Asia, and as the land of infinite opportunity (American Dream) that render Korean Americans' loss and grief unwarranted. Finally, this chapter ends by deliberating upon the burden that Korean American young adults bear to ensure that their parents' arduous emigration and immigration process would not be in vain.
520 $a Chapter five proposes a restorative spiritual practice for SGKACs and their faith communities. Not only will this chapter argue for the importance of individual and communal lament, it will also expand upon how this contributes to the healing process and the work of seeking justice. This chapter concludes with proposed trajectories for future research.
