Reviews

This book offers a remarkably comprehensive and empirically grounded account of the Koryo Saram’s return to South Korea. Drawing on extensive field research, it illuminates the most pressing issues faced by ethnic Koreans from the post-Soviet region - problems of visas, employment, adaptation, and acceptance within Korean society. The author insightfully reveals how government policies toward co-ethnic returnees expose the tensions and contradictions of contemporary multiculturalism. Timely, relevant, and much needed, this book speaks both to policymakers and to the broader public seeking to understand these challenges. * Natalya Yem, Associate Professor, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, KAZ *
