Recensioner i media

“Commemorating the 140th anniversary of Germany-Korea diplomatic ties, this pioneering collection fills a central gap in both German and Korean studies. This insightful work reaches far beyond the customary focus on economics, high politics, and history to delve into interactions, representations, migration, mobility, cultural exchanges, and, notably, the influence on the German-Korean relationship exerted by 'otherness' portrayals across media, art, migration and academia. The book interweaves the micro-context of Koreans' lives in Germany with macro-interdisciplinary perspectives, including gender, intersectionality, and cultural representation. This approach sheds light on the repercussions of eurocentrism, colonialism, and Western discourses in their shared history. A must-read for those seeking insights into German-Korean relations, this book is likely to become an invaluable resource for students, policymakers, regional experts, and enthusiasts intrigued by the interplay of changing cultures and ideas.”
