Description:

A HINT OF LIGHT is the story of a black-Korean Amerasian boy orphaned to the streets of Seoul from the time he is born. It traces his life, with his white-Korean female companion, through the gutters and back alleys of the marketplace, through whorehouses and hotels, to Japan in the service of a wealthy Korean exporter's wife, and finally to New York City. It is a dramatic view of the streets through the eyes of its various inhabitants that exposes the underbelly of racism that permeates Asian and American societies. A fictional document on a segment of society trapped in their skins because of their color, they remain foreigners in their own land with no identity and no escape. David L. Meth three years on research, including a year in Korea and a year in Japan, and interviewed many of these children and people who cared for them, collecting audio tapes and photos.
