Korean culture through the lens of immigrants’ culture

도서관련문의

책 소 개: We have been experiencing immigrations for the last 100
years, which can be hardly found in other countries. Korean people immigrated to Machuria,
Siberia, and Japan to avoid Japanese colonial exploitation and even after the
Korean independence, immigration occurred constantly for many different
reasons. Nevertheless, the past studies only focused on a general discourse of
political and social causes of the immigration and did not shed light on each
individual immigrant.

This
book has significance in the sense that it addresses individual immigrant’s
daily life that has not been mainly studied thus far; through the study, this
book explores in-depth how the immigrants find their identities while adapting
to the society. This book would provide opportunities to readers to actively think about
our identity that we are gradually losing.
