Reviews

Korean Diaspora across the World provides a powerful collection of essays about migration and survival, of memory and place, and of longing for and coming home. The edited volume is an excellent academic resource for scholars interested in history, media, diaspora studies, communication studies, and Korean studies. This book calls us to reconsider how we construct our identities by exploring diverse diasporic experiences and challenging simplistic definitions of who we are and where we are from.
