What does it mean to bring Asia into conversation with current
literature on everyday multiculturalism? This book focuses on the
empirical, theoretical and methodological considerations of using
an everyday multiculturalism approach to explore the ordinary ways
people live together in difference in the Asian region while also
drawing attention to increasing trans-Asian mobilities. The
chapters in this collection encompass inter-disciplinary research
undertaken in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and South
Korea that explores some core aspects of everyday multiculturalism
as it plays out in and across Asia. These include an increase in
intraregional movements and especially labour mobility, which
demands regard for the experiences of migrants from Burma, China,
Nepal, The Philippines and India; negotiations of cultural
diversity in nations where a multi-ethnic citizenry is formally
recognised through predominantly pluralist models, and/or where
national belonging is highly racialized; and intercultural
contestation against, in some cases, the backdrop of a newly
emergent multicultural policy environment. The book challenges and
reinvigorates discussions around the relative transferability of an
everyday multiculturalism framework to Asia, including concepts
such as super-diversity, conviviality and everyday racism, and the
importance of close attention to how people navigate differences
and commonalities in local and trans-local contexts. This book will
be of interest to academics and researchers studying migration,
multiculturalism, ethnic and racial studies, and to advanced
students of Sociology, Political Science and Public Policy. It was
originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
This book investigates the experiences of South Koreans adopted
into Western families and the complexity of what it means to "feel
identity" beyond what is written in official adoption files. Korean
Adoptees and Transnational Adoption is based on ethnographic
fieldwork in South Korea and interviews with adult Korean adoptees
from the United States, Australia, Canada, Switzerland and Sweden.
It seeks to probe beneath the surface of what is "known" and
examines identity as an embodied process of making that which is
"unknown" into something that can be meaningfully grasped and felt.
Furthermore, drawing on the author's own experiences as a
transnational, transracial Korean adoptee, this book analyses the
racial and cultural negotiations of "whiteness" and "Korean-ness"
in the lives of adoptees and the blurriness which results
in-between. Highlighting the role of memory and the body in the
formation of identities, this book will be useful to students and
scholars of Korean Studies, Ethnicity Studies and Anthropology as
well as Asian culture and society more generally.
