Author Description

South Korea Advances toward a Multicultural SocietyKorean society is rapidly changing into a multicultural society regardless of whether it is prepared or not. This book explains the swirl of change in Korean society caused by foreigners residing in Korea who exceeded one million in 2007, including foreign workers and marriage immigrants. This book is based on direct research that includes the survey, interviews, surveys, and ethnographic studies of Korea in response to sudden and profound changes in race and ethnic composition. The authors examined the attitudes of married immigrants to multicultural service centers, foreign villages, and foreigners in Seoul and surrounding areas. This book will be the first English-language book about the impressive and dynamic process of change that once was a country of seclusion and a single nation.
