"Drawing on an eclectic set of methodological strategies and data sources, Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea does the important work of broadening and updating our understanding of family change in Korea. Whether the reader is versed in quantitative statistical methods or is more inclined toward qualitative narrative accounts, this volume marks an important programmatic shift in the study of multiculturalism in South Korea. The empirical analyses offered in the different chapters bring the field up to speed, reflecting a new research agenda that is surely likely to inform future studies of the Korean family." The Journal of Asian Studies "Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea is requisite reading not only for students and scholars intrigued by South Korea, but also for those interested in contemporary struggles over multiculturalism and migration, family forms and gender relations, and identity and conviviality. Minjeong Kim and Hyeyoung Woo have assembled a collection of pathbreaking and illuminating essays." John Lie, author of Japan, the Sustainable Society: The Artisanal Ethos, Ordinary Virtues, and Everyday Life i "In a country that views itself as ethnically homogeneous, South Korea has witnessed a growth in multicultural or multiethnic families. In this excellent edited volume, Minjeong Kim, Hyeyoung Woo, and their colleagues explore the growth and variety of these families, whose presence challenges the notion of 'pure' Koreans as the only Koreans."
