This book compares the Korean diasporic groups in Japan and the
United States. It highlights the contrasting adaptation of Koreans
in Japan and the United States, and illuminates how the destinies
of immigrants who originally belonged to the same ethnic/national
collectivity diverge depending upon destinations and how they are
received in a certain state and society within particular
historical contexts. The author finds that the mode of
incorporation (a specific combination of contextual factors),
rather than ethnic 'culture' and 'race,' plays a decisive role in
determining the fates of these Korean immigrant groups. In other
words, what matters most for immigrants' integration is not their
particular cultural background or racial similarity to the dominant
group, but the way they are received by the host state and other
institutions. Thus, this book is not just about Korean immigrants;
it is also about how contexts of reception including different
conceptualizations of 'race' in relation to nationhood affect the
adaptation of immigrants from the same ethnic/national origin.
