This book aims to capture the complicated development of Korea from
monoethnic to multicultural society, challenging the narrative of
"ethnonational continuity" in Korea through a discursive
institutional approach. At a time when immigration is changing the
face of South Korea and an increasingly diverse society becomes
empirical fact, this doesn't necessarily mean that multiculturalism
has been embraced as a normative, policy-based response to that
fact. The approach here diverges from existing academic analyses,
which tend to conclude that core institutions defining Korea's
immigration and nationality regimes-nd which, crucially, also
reflect a basic and hitherto unyielding commitment to racial and
ethnic homogeneity-ill remain largely unaffected by increasing
diversity. Here, this title underscores the critical importance of
"discursive agency" as a necessary corrective to still dominant
power and interestbased arguments. In addition, "discursive agents"
are found to play a central role in communicating, promoting, and
helping to instill the ideas that create a basis for change on the
road to remaking Korean society. The Road to Multiculturalism in
South Korea will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian
studies, immigration and migration studies, race and ethnic
studies, as well as comparative politics broadly.
