Amer-Asian history/background? Any knowledge of it you could share or links or book titles?

Question

For school I'm writing a five chapter book (first two paragraphs below) about an Amer-Asian girl and I need input and history. any books or sites or info you can offer? thanks!


"Please give me a name."

This might work. The nameless girl had suffered a lot. She was an Amer-Asion living on the streets of Korea. Being a homeless orphan was bad. Being Amer-Asian in Korea was worse. But being nameless was worst.

Her father had taught her English. She remembered him. Laughing blue eyes, an odd spattering of brownish-orange polka dots on his face, and long limbs. She remembered watching the sky swirl by as he whiled her around, then her was face smashed against his no-longer-crisp uniform in a hug. Then her feet were on the ground again and she watched his long legs walk away. He left with her that memory, brief knowledge of the Enlglish language, and the feeling that life was good and she belonged to a world made fo a freckled soldier and herself with a beautiful sky
