Description

Newcomers and Global Migration in Contemporary South Korea: Across National Boundaries examines the intersections of race, class, gender and inequalities in global migration in contemporary South Korea. The contributors explore South Korean migration policies and study diverse migrants living and working in South Korea as low-wage undocumented workers, refugees, Korean returnees, migrant women married to Korean men, and white professionals. The chapters in this collection make visible the differentiation and divergence of migration experiences due to race, class, gender, and place of origin, which are all also mediated by local inequalities in South Korea.

Reviews

  • This volume is a welcome addition to the growing literature on multiculturalism in South Korea. Comprehensive in scope, the chapters reflect the diverse scholarship that was until now only available to a Korean audience. This volume is essential reading for any student of globalization, immigration, and demographic change.

    Paul Chang, Harvard University

  • Newcomers and Global Migration offers a comprehensive and truly global account of South Korea and its transnational migratory flows. Highlighting the plurality of migrant experiences in South Korea and beyond, the book illustrates how diverse migrant communities from the Global South and North—university students, scientists, factory workers, refugees, and co-ethnic returnees—transform social relations, everyday spaces, and national politics. Newcomers and Global Migration will appeal to a variety of readers interested in transnationalism, migration, diaspora, as well as globalization.

    Hae Yeon Choo, author of Decentering Citizenship: Gender, Labor, and Migrant Rights in South Korea
