Abstract: mission identity, policy, and direction in the midst of two conflicting Korean responses; a relatively favorable reception of Christianity on the one hand, and a strong demand for the implementation of secular education from Korean leaders and intellectuals on the other. During initial years of the Korean mission, missionary activities were focused primarily in medicine and education due to legal restrictions against Christianity outside of these sectors. Going into the 1890s, the mission priority shifted to evangelism due largely to the strong personal commitment on the part of two leading missionaries, Horace G. Underwood and Samuel Moffett. Chapter 3 focuses on the issue of identification. Missionaries made efforts to overcome barriers of national, cultural and racial bias and superiority in light of the ideals of the Christian mission with varying degree of success. The author discovers that individual attitudes, commitment, and the nature and frequency of encounters with Koreans were significant factors in the variation. In chapters 4 and 5, the author examines the home, family, and the type of work missionaries engaged in and how these respective factors affected Korean encounters and identification. Chapter 6 looks at the ways in which conflicts are negotiated and resolved between the American missionaries’ priority on evangelism and Korean Christians’ emphasis on nationalism and modernization. Although American missionaries gradually accommodated the demands for higher education originating from Korean church leaders, the strong emphasis on evangelical activities from early missionaries worked to establish the conservative and evangelical tone of Korean Christianity that still exists today. In order to adequately understand the history of the Korean church, it is imperative to learn what these early pioneers had in mind for its nature and future direction. The strength of this book lies in the original way it deals with subjective interpretations from the key actors who formulated and modified early mission policy and vision through everevolving interactions with, responses to, and demands of Koreans. The analysis is objective and fair, free of the nationalistic biases often found in the writings of modern Korean history by Korean authors. However, the inclusion of a couple of additional key elements may have added to the overall analysis. Horace G. Underwood is known, especially to older Koreans, as Won Du-woo. Many other missionaries also had Korean names, and a more detailed explanation as to the significance of name adoption among missionaries may have provided more insight into the study of identity formulation. Methodist missionaries also constituted a significant portion of the Christian mission, and many of the medical and/or educational mission projects in Korea were jointly sponsored by Presbyterians and Methodists. At least a minor reference to the contribution of Methodist missions and their mutual influences on the formulation of the mission identity and policy would have been helpful. Overall, the book is a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of the roots of the Korean Christian phenomenon.

Teach for América The Latinization of U.S. Schools and the Critical Shortage of Latina/o Teachers

Abstract: Motivated by shifting demographics and the persistently low academic performance of Latinas/os in U.S. schools, the authors examine factors that influence the recruitment and retention of Latina/o teachers. Applying Latina/o critical race theory and cross-case analysis to data collected from three groups of Latinas/os at distinct points in the teacher pipeline—high school students, undergraduate preservice teachers, and inservice teachers—the authors conclude that the perspectives and experiences of Latinas/os differ significantly from the dominant narrative on teacher recruitment and retention, which is largely defined by White teachers’ career histories. The findings of this study serve as an important race- and culture-conscious counternarrative that can inform efforts to systematically diversify the teaching profession.

Discovery of Grounded Theory: Strategies for Qualitative Research

Abstract: Most writing on sociological method has been concerned with how accurate facts can be obtained and how theory can thereby be more rigorously tested. In The Discovery of Grounded Theory, Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss address the equally Important enterprise of how the discovery of theory from data--systematically obtained and analyzed in social research--can be furthered. The discovery of theory from data--grounded theory--is a major task confronting sociology, for such a theory fits empirical situations, and is understandable to sociologists and laymen alike. Most important, it provides relevant predictions, explanations, interpretations, and applications. In Part I of the book, "Generation Theory by Comparative Analysis," the authors present a strategy whereby sociologists can facilitate the discovery of grounded theory, both substantive and formal. This strategy involves the systematic choice and study of several comparison groups. In Part II, The Flexible Use of Data," the generation of theory from qualitative, especially documentary, and quantitative data Is considered. In Part III, "Implications of Grounded Theory," Glaser and Strauss examine the credibility of grounded theory. The Discovery of Grounded Theory is directed toward improving social scientists' capacity for generating theory that will be relevant to their research. While aimed primarily at sociologists, it will be useful to anyone Interested In studying social phenomena--political, educational, economic, industrial-- especially If their studies are based on qualitative data.
