Koreatown : Exploring the Economics, Politics, and Identities of Korean Spatial Formation
I co-edited an edited volume, Koreatowns: Exploring the Economics, Politics, and Identities of Korean Spatial Formation, with two other sociologists, Soo Mee Kim and Stephen Suh.
“This collection defines Koreatowns as spatial configurations that concentrate elements of “Korea” demographically, economically, politically, and culturally. The contributors provide exploratory accounts and critical evaluations of Koreatowns in different countries throughout the world. Ranging from familiar settings such as Los Angeles and New York City, to more unfamiliar locales such as Singapore, Beijing, Mexico, U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and the American Midwest, this collection not only examines the social characteristics and contours of these spaces, but also the types of discourses and symbols that they exude.”
Our contributors include Carolyn Choi, Yuri W. Doolan, Cassandra Gutierrez, Minjeong Kim, Hyo Kyung Woo, and Sharon J. Yoon. This book is scheduled to be published in June, 2020.
