About the Book

This volume examines the socio-cultural aspects of transnational mobility of the Korean diaspora across the globe, spanning countries such as Japan, the Philippines, Germany, the US, and the UK. The contributors explore gendered migration, social inclusion and exclusion in homeland and hostland, embodied multiple subjectivities and belonging in historical and contemporary contexts, migrants’ work and family, ethnic media consumption, information and communication technology (ICT) in transnational mobility, ethnic return migration, and marriage migration. This work is a strong interdisciplinary and trans-regional study, combining various disciplines such as sociology, gender studies, anthropology, history, theater studies, media and communication studies, and Asian studies.

Review :
This is the only book I know that examines such a diverse range of mobilities to and from South Korea in both historical and contemporary contexts. Most of the chapters are theoretically sophisticated with substantial ethnographic detail and should interest not only Korean Studies specialists, but scholars studying migration, diasporas, and race and ethnicity more broadly. I especially appreciated the emphasis on professional and marriage migration, and the return migration of adoptees and diasporic descendants to the ethnic homeland. A new era of migration produces new features of immigrant lives. These features are well analyzed in this collection, which also examines enduring topics with fresh perspectives, such as the gendered dimensions of migration, return migrants, and newly dug up topics from the past, all in this innovative collection. This welcome addition is a fascinating compression of time and space with reference to transnational mobility of Korean migrants in and out of Korea. The authors analyze data from interviews, historical documents, theater work, and media. The collection explores why people move in and out of borders, what the priorities are to them, how they go about in search of identities, and seeking work, education, asylum, touring, and health services. Interactions between immigrants, returnees and locals are richly described.
