{"product_id":"road-to-multiculturalism-in-south-korea-1","title":"Road to Multiculturalism in South Korea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book aims to capture the complicated development of Korea from monoethnic to multicultural society, challenging the narrative of “ethnonational continuity” in Korea through a discursive institutional approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a time when immigration is changing the face of South Korea and an increasingly diverse society becomes empirical fact, this doesn’t necessarily mean that multiculturalism has been embraced as a normative, policy-based response to that fact. The approach here diverges from existing academic analyses, which tend to conclude that core institutions defining Korea’s immigration and nationality regimes — and which, crucially, also reflect a basic and hitherto unyielding commitment to racial and ethnic homogeneity — will remain largely unaffected by increasing diversity. Here, this title underscores the critical importance of “discursive agency” as a necessary corrective to still dominant power and interestbased arguments. In addition, “discursive agents” are found to play a central role in communicating, promoting, and helping to instill the ideas that create a basis for change on the road to remaking Korean society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Road to Multiculturalism in South Korea \u003c\/em\u003ewill be of interest to students and scholars of Asian studies, immigration and migration studies, race and ethnic studies, as well as comparative politics broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254771372376,"sku":"9780367646653","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367646653.jpg?v=1780990249","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/road-to-multiculturalism-in-south-korea-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
