Who are wild geese families? They are middle-class Korean
transnational families whose mothers and children migrate abroad
for children's education while fathers remain in Korea and
economically support their families. While their transnational
separation is initiated as a family strategy, it unexpectedly leads
to substantial transformations in their lives and relationships.
Korean Wild Geese Families explores the experiences of Korean wild
geese families in North America, focusing on their gender, family,
social, and legal dynamics throughout transnational separation:
before separation, during separation, and after reunification. Se
Hwa Lee discusses the themes of (1) changes in wild geese parents'
relative gender statuses, housework patterns, and spousal
relationships; (2) changes in mothering/fathering practices and
intergenerational relationships; and (3) wild geese families'
settlement and integration in the host societies and re-adaptation
to Korea after family reunification. To further the discussion, Se
Hwa Lee includes interviews with mothers in both the United States
and Canada, as well as fathers in Korea, so that she compares the
effects of immigration policies between the two countries and
presents gender-balanced explanations. The author sheds light on
Asian documented immigrants' hardships and different degrees of
empowerment and incorporation in the host societies by the type of
legal status.
