Abstract
This article looks at Korean American literature, noting how neither the postcolonial model nor the multicultural model is sufficient to describe the ghostly shadows that emerge in the text. In particular, the article examines the figure of the orphan and shows how a diasporic perspective allows for a reading of neither the present nor the past but the complicated dance between the two.
