Beskrivning
This collection defines Koreatowns as spatial configurations that concentrate elements of “Korea” demographically, economically, politically, and culturally. The contributors provide exploratory accounts and critical evaluations of Koreatowns in different countries throughout the world. Ranging from familiar settings such as Los Angeles and New York City, to more unfamiliar locales such as Singapore, Beijing, Mexico, U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and the American Midwest, this collection not only examines the social characteristics and contours of these spaces, but also the types of discourses and symbols that they exude.

Recensioner i media

Based on a rich compilation of research studies conducted by up-and-coming scholars across the field, Koreatowns offers readers the most up-to-date analyses on thepolitical, economic, and cultural re-formation of contemporary Koreatown communities across the world. Based on new and old Koreatowns from gateway and mid-western U.S. cities to Asia, Mexico, and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, this collection analyzes how economic restructuring, cultural consumption, globalization, and social inequality have triggered the transnational extension and re-formation of Korean communities in ways that both connect as well as stratify. Readers can learn about emerging phenomenon, such as K-wave cultural communities, post-riot political and cultural formations, trans-border U.S.-Mexico Korean enclaves, Korean military bride camptowns, and stratified international student pathways. This book is a must-read for anyone looking for a fresh perspective on Koreatown and the Korean diaspora and is sure to generate new ideas and discussions on global ethnic enclaves today.
