In Borderland Dreams June Hee Kwon explores the trajectory of the
“Korean dream” that has fueled the massive migration of Korean
Chinese workers from the Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Yanbian in
northeast China to South Korea since the early 1990s. Charting the
interplay of bodies, money, and time, the ethnography reveals how
these migrant workers, in the course of pursuing their borderland
dreams, are transformed into a transnational ethnicized class. Kwon
analyzes the persistent desire of Korean Chinese to “leave to
live better” at the intersection between the neoliberalizing
regimes of post-socialist China and of post–Cold War South Korea.
Scrutinizing the tensions and affinities among the Korean Chinese,
North and South Koreans, and Han Chinese whose lives intertwine in
the borderland, Kwon captures the diverse and multifaceted
aspirations of Korean Chinese workers caught between the ascendant
Chinese dream and the waning Korean dream.
