You know, and children used to tease me and bully me for being Asian. But I do remember sort of having the sense of being isolated a little bit.Īnd then once I started kindergarten, I - you know, that was when I first had the experience of feeling like an other because I was introduced to racial slurs like chink and Jap. How were you and your family treated by the locals?ĬHO: Well, you know, I didn't have that much of a sense of it at first because my early childhood memories were really pretty much enveloped in this world of my mother - that I sort of went with her everywhere and I was a bit sheltered from others. That's - he met your mom when he was stationed in Korea when he was traveling there.ĭAVIES: You mention there were very few Asian Americans, if any, in Chehalis. And also as far as I knew, we were the only Koreans to live there during that era of the early to mid-'70s.ĭAVIES: Right. And as far as I knew, we were the first immigrants who had arrived for a very long time. The population at the time that we moved there was about 5,000 or a little bit more.

Tell us where you settled and grew up, what kind of place it was.ĬHO: Yeah. GRACE M CHO: Thank you so much for having me.ĭAVIES: You were born in South Korea in 1971 - right? - and as a baby emigrated with your family to the United States. She's the author of an earlier book, "Haunting The Korean Diaspora: Shame, Secrecy, And The Forgotten War." Her new memoir is titled "Tastes Like War." Grace Cho is associate professor of sociology and anthropology at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York. As Cho learned more about her mother's life, secrets emerged which were disturbing, but Cho believes her mother's experience may well have contributed to her mental illness. Cho has spent much of her life as a scholar looking into the trauma Korean women of her mother's generation faced losing family members to the Japanese occupation in World War II and the savage fighting of the Korean War and struggling to survive in a devastated postwar Korea. Her mother would eventually be diagnosed with schizophrenia. Grace Cho grew up in a small town in rural Washington. Cho, has a compelling new memoir about her relationship with her mother, who emigrated from Korea with her American husband when Cho was a baby. I'm Dave Davies, in today for Terry Gross.
