This book explores the nature of the state-citizen societal
relationship in Korea during the transition to neoliberalism,
through the lenses of class and nationalism. Examining the process
by which a new class, Korean Chinese entrepreneurs, emerged from
Korean Chinese enclaves in South Korea and quickly became a leading
group within those communities, this book provides a case study of
the entrepreneurs running a variety of businesses, including
restaurants, travel agencies and trading companies. Whilst Korean
Chinese people faced discrimination and stigmatization in Korea,
despite their economic contributions to the economy, this book
demonstrates how entrepreneurs began to form associations and
organisations, campaigning for their equal status in Korean
society. Arguing that the formation of these was closely linked to
the framework of legal statuses established by the Korean state as
it sought to make use of Korean Chinese labour, this book explains
how social citizenship was constituted by the interaction between
their situational sense of fairness and the contradictory economic
and social roles expected of them by the state. Drawing on fifteen
years of ethnographical experience, Chaoxianzu Entrepreneurs in
Korea will be useful to students and scholars of sociology,
anthropology, Migration Studies and Ethnic Studies, as well as
Korean Studies.
