Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Won explores the untold story of immigration in South Korea through a new precariat lens. Unlike traditional narratives, this book sheds light on the complexities of Korea's evolving immigration landscape, offering readers a fresh, multidimensional perspective. While its primary focus is on Korea, the text covers other countries such as Japan, the United States, Germany, Australia, and Canada. Coupled with a triadic focus, it provides a comparative analysis between Western and Asian countries, offering insights into shared experiences and unique nuances shaping immigration realities. It uncovers private realms, exploring the challenges faced by immigrants, particularly marriage migrant women, and its gendered dynamics. It also blends theories from various disciplines with rich empirical data, giving readers a comprehensive understanding of the profound implications surrounding international immigration and immigrants' experiences, not only in the Korean immigration regime but also in various types of immigration regimes. A unique read for academics, undergraduates, and postgraduates in the fields of Asian studies, public administration, immigration, political science, sociology, and comparative policy studies.Chapters 3,4, and 6 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
