Koreans are one of the fastest-growing visible minority groups
in Canada today. However, very few studies of their experiences in
Canada or their paths of integration are available to public and
academic communities. Korean Immigrants in Canada provides the
first scholarly collection of papers on Korean immigrants and their
offspring from interdisciplinary, social scientific
perspectives.
The contributors explore the historical, psychological, social,
and economic dimensions of Korean migration, settlement, and
integration across the country. A variety of important topics are
covered, including the demographic profile of Korean-Canadians,
immigrant entrepreneurship, mental health and stress, elder care,
language maintenance, and the experiences of students and the
second generation. Readers will find interconnecting themes and
synthesized findings throughout the chapters. Most importantly,
this collection serves as a platform for future research on Koreans
in Canada.
