The Korean communities in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires were the first
overseas Korean communities that the new Republic of Korea
initiated and supported. The initiative was taken to relieve the
economic suffering of the poverty-stricken country in the 1960s.
Among South American countries that were open to Korean immigrants,
Brazil and Argentina attracted the most, which included even
undocumented Korean migrants from neighboring countries. The two
Korean communities (about 45,000 people in Sao Paulo and 20,000 in
Buenos Aires) represent almost two thirds of the Korean residents
in Latin America. Over the years, global forces emanating mainly
from East Asia, North America, and South America have affected the
Korean communities. The intensity and directions of the triangular
pulls and pushes have varied, reflecting changing global
socioeconomic conditions. This has created tension and ambiguity
among the Korean migrant and host communities. Looking at the two
communities comparatively, the focus will be on the effects of the
global pulls on Korean identity formation, community development
patterns, integration efforts, social mobility, education for
children, remigration, return migration, and relationships with the
host communities. Wherever applicable, the experiences of Korean
communities are compared with that of other East Asian communities,
namely the Chinese and Japanese in Latin America.
