所谓“美国韩裔文学”，是指由美国社会中的韩裔群体作家用英语创作的文 学作品，发表时为亚洲语言之后被译作英语的文学作品也涵盖其中。此处的韩裔 群体，不仅指在美国出生的韩国人，如苏珊 · 崔、凯瑟琳 · 钟等，还指在美国本 土以外出生后来到美国的移民作家，如车学庆、金晏密等。 需要说明的是，就移民来源地而言，由于历史、政治等特殊原因，来自朝鲜 的移民数量远低于来自韩国的人数，因此，我们选择了“美国韩裔”这一概念， 而非“美国朝鲜裔”的界定方式。但是，由于韩国在 1948 年 8 月 15 日独立，朝  
鲜在 1948 年 9 月 9 日建国，而在此之前史称“朝鲜王朝”，因此，在述及此前的 历史与人物时，还会使用“美国朝鲜裔”的说法。  
“美国韩裔文学”无疑是“美国亚裔文学”版图中不可或缺的一部分，它在近百年的发展中突破重围、不断壮大。“美国韩裔文学”题材多样，既聚焦韩裔族群的家国历史与民族品质，又关注其他族裔乃至全球热点。现在，韩裔文学作品不仅通过对过往多重维度地审视，展现了一幅韩裔美国人在历史潮流中奋力创生的画卷，而且通过对现实的深切关怀，为当下社会发展与人类福祉提供借鉴。  
今天的朝鲜人与韩国人到美国的第一次移民浪潮，早在两国建国之前就开始了，横跨 20 世纪初至 20 世纪 50 年代。此阶段的移民以“照片新娘”、流亡人士、劳工等为主，也夹杂着少数积极进步的知识分子。姜镛讫（中文译名又为“康永熙”）通常被认为是第一位美国朝鲜裔小说家，其自传体长篇小说《草堂》（The Grass Roof）是公认的第一部美国朝鲜裔小说。
