Book Talk - Migrant Workers and the Developmental State in the Philippines and South Korea

In this book talk, Suzy Lee (Binghamton University) traces the history of labor export programs in South Korea and the Philippines, offering explanations for why and how they diverged so dramatically and describing the multiple pathways through which migration can serve national development projects and the conditions under which different models succeed or fail.

Questioning Racial Binaries: Co-Ethnic Racialisation, Intersectionality, and Immigration Hierarchies in East Asia

This lecture by Elaine Lynn-Ee Ho (National University of Singapore) advances contemporary scholarship on ethnicity, migration, and racialisation by examining new dynamics of racism that complicate the conventional white/Other binary often referenced in Western migrant-receiving societies. Drawing on migration trends in East Asia, including Singapore, China, Japan, and South Korea, the lecture foregrounds co-ethnic racialisation and intersectionality as critical frameworks for understanding the way that intersecting social categories shape migrant identities and produce “polysemic immigration hierarchies."

Book Talk - Acculturation of Korean New Zealander Youth: Re-Ethnicization of the Newer Generation

This book by Changzoo Song (University of Auckland) explores the acculturation, identity development, and cultural reconnection of newer-generation (1.5- and second-generation) Korean New Zealander youth who grew up in New Zealand after the 1990s. Based on in-depth interviews, it shows how many of them initially sought to assimilate into the dominant culture but later experienced a process of re-ethnicization, rediscovering their Korean heritage during adolescence and early adulthood.
