This book examines escalating conflicts between Blacks and Koreans in American cities by focusing on the Flatbush Boycott of 1990, led by Black and Haitian activists against Korean-owned produce stores in Brooklyn. Claire Jean Kim rejects the notion that Black-Korean conflict constitutes racial scapegoating and helps us understand Black activists' collective action and the responses of others.
