Beskrivning

Korean Immigrants from Latin America explores the migration and resettlement experiences of Koreans from Latin America now residing in the New York metropolitan area. It uses interview data from 102 Korean secondary migrants from Latin America to explore the religious, familial, economic, and educational dimensions of their migration and resettlement processes in the U.S. As Korean and Latino immigrants share increasingly close interactions with each other in various urban settings, these Korean remigrants can serve as links between Korean and Spanish speakers as well as liaisons among diverse groups. This book shows a surprising degree of diversity within the seemingly homogenous Korean population in the U.S. and demonstrates the unacknowledged linguistic and cultural differences among them.

Recensioner i media

In Korean Immigrants from Latin America, Jin Suk Bae executes the book’s premise--to challenge the boundedness and fixity of much of the scholarship on Korean migrant communities by highlighting the multiple mobilities of Korean immigrants from Latin America residing in New York--with verve and gusto. By investigating the migratory trajectories, experiences, and identities of this otherwise understudied population, Bae deftly illustrates how the practice of migration can be simultaneously historically and economically situated yet spontaneous and unpredictable. This interdisciplinary work provides groundbreaking insights and important critiques to the growing subfield of Korean diaspora studies that will surely inspire new questions and avenues for research.
