Abstract
Objectives This study aims to present the maternal roles and transnational activities among Korean American immigrant mothers. Methods For the aim of the study, we summarized historical changes of Korean immigrants in the US and clarified the concept of transnationalism. We reviewed 18 related articles published in academic journals. Results The maternal roles of Korean American immigrant mothers were summarized as ensuring their children’s academic success and helping their children to establish ethnic identity as Korean. In order to perform these roles, Korean American immigrant mothers were involved in economic, sociocultural, and political transnational activities. Conclusions Transnationalism should be considered for better understanding Korean families living abroad and multicultural families in Korea. For future research, transnational activities that Korean immigrant mothers are involved need to be investigated.
