Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea provides an
in-depth look at the lives of families in Korea that include
immigrants. Ten original chapters in this volume, written by
scholars in multiple social science disciplines and covering
different methodological approaches, aim to reinvigorate
contemporary discussions about these multicultural families.
Specially, the volume expands the scope of “multicultural
families” by examining the diverse configurations of families
with immigrants who crossed the Korean border during and after the
1990s, such as the families of undocumented migrant workers,
divorced marriage immigrants, and the families of Korean women with
Muslim immigrant husbands. Second, instead of looking at immigrants
as newcomers, the volume takes a discursive turn, viewing them as
settlers or first-generation immigrants in Korea whose
post-migration lives have evolved and whose membership in Korean
society has matured, by examining immigrants’ identities, need
for political representation, their fights through the court
system, and the aspirations of second-generation immigrants.
