DESCRIPTION

Racialization and Gender in South Korea
Focusing on South Korea’s multiethnic and multiracial transformation in the twenty-first century, topics include the subsequent challenges to the deep-seated myth of monoethnic and monocultural nationhood and the adverse effect of reinforcing homogeneity by naturalizing the racialized boundaries among people from different backgrounds; the social and political issues stemming from the South Korean experience of race as examined through the cross-cutting theme of gender; and the invention of a masculinist mythical narrative from past memory in response to the high demand for diversification and cosmopolitanization in South Korea.

Contributors. Hee Jung Choi, Ga Young Chung, Inga Kim Diederich, Han Sang Kim, Sunhye Kim, Yuko Kawai, Sohoon Yi
