Chapter Eight: Jin Hi Kim

This is one of five chapters here that has been condensed and joined with the others in a chapter for a two-volume reader on improvisation in various cultural contexts in press at Duke University Press, for editors Daniel Fischlin and Eric Porter.

Conference Presentation (2010)

Jin is second in Asia-in-America hierarchy, after Tatsu/AIR, because of her origin outside the country, her gender, and the wealth of info I have from her, and the mutual personal connections. That may make her section be later written, because there’s more to say. Korea, like Germany & Japan, has that unique WWII/Korean War interface w/ US that China and Mongolia don’t have.

lede w/ story about Asian immigration surpassing Latino for first time; tie that in w/ image of her being the first among these Asian women stars

immigration also mentioned in old book proposal; update, with the book project and ISIM conf; and intvu; write this most like the music jrnlst, more than scholar (since your info on her is the thickest already as scholar; draw on all that), to reflect her own wrk as a writer about her own music and others’

start with a summary of all her work--the early jrnlsm, the music, the book, the art-activism w/ ISIM, Korea, etc.; compare it to my own life’s plate, including the unpublished book...then do a more detailed revue of her book, but still summary (use Grauer & Szwed & G Lewis revues as models, maybe make hers a bit more extensive); weave in CD revues down the chronology of her book, also intvu notes

Once the book revu is the frame, fill it in with CDs & intvu quotes, then update

When I get this & all the other artists's blog pages to the point Sainkho's is at, I will be close to writing them all up into final drafts.

Comments are open and welcome. Keep in mind that my more completed chapter drafts are referring to other chapters not yet written as though they are. I've gotten the book mostly researched and written up in my head, so I make those references to cue me to put them in my future write-ups
