Reviews

Throughout history, Koreans have been voluntarily migrating or forced to migrate to other countries. Korean Diaspora Across the World: Homeland in History, Memory, Imagination, Media, and Reality explores the wide-ranging experiences of Korean migration, adoption, and diaspora in various situations. Unlike other anthologies on this topic, the unique collection of articles in this book comprehensively illustrates how Koreans have struggled, survived, and triumphed in various corners of the globe and how they have constructed and identified imagined communities through social media and other media consumption. -- Eung-Jun Min, Rhode Island College Korean Diaspora across the World: Homeland in History, Memory, Imagination, Media, and Reality is an engaging and wide-ranging exploration of diaspora politics with special attention to identity, cultural adaptation, and public discourse. The book's writings on diasporic Koreans from less-studied regions like Kazakhstan to Chile, and from the angle of food, capture the cutting edge of Korean Studies, which increasingly acknowledges our Eastern European and Latin American roots and Korea's efforts at global cultural hegemony. -- Nadia Y. Kim, Loyola Marymount University
