Warring Genealogies explores the development of kinships between Chicano/a and Asian American cultural production, including the 1954 proxy adoption of a Korean boy by Leavenworth prisoners, and critiques racialized formations of kinship emerging from the Korean War. It unpacks writings by Rolando Hinojosa and Luis Valdez, analyzes Susan Chois' The Foreign Student, and examines Chicano military police procedurals, white supremacist womens organizations, and the politics of funding Korean War archives.

Warring Genealogies delves into the intricate web of kinship connections between Chicano/a and Asian American cultural production, exploring pivotal moments like the 1954 proxy adoption of a Korean boy by Leavenworth prisoners. Joo Ok Kim takes a comprehensive approach, examining white supremacist expressions of kinship in prison magazines, memorials, U.S. military songbooks, as well as critiques of these expressions in Chicana/o and Korean diasporic works. Through this lens, she conceptualizes the emergence of racialized kinship formations stemming from the Korean War.
Rolando Hinojosa's writings, including Korean Love Songs and The Useless Servants, and Luis Valdez's works, such as I Dont Have to Show You No Stinking Badges and Zoot Suit, are analyzed to showcase counter-representations of the Korean War and the problematic portrayal of the United States as a benevolent savior. Kim further examines Susan Choi's novel, The Foreign Student, as a novel that proposes alternative temporalities to dominant Korean War narratives. Additionally, she delves into Chicano military police procedurals, white supremacist womens organizations, and the politics of funding Korean War archives, providing a rich tapestry of insights.
Kim's comparative study in Asian American and Latinx Studies makes profound connections about race, politics, and citizenship, challenging the Cold War conception of the "national family." This insightful analysis sheds light on the complex dynamics and intersections of race, culture, and history, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the past and the present.
