This comprehensive volume, comprising ten original chapters authored by scholars from diverse social science disciplines, seeks to revitalize contemporary discussions on these multicultural families. Specifically, it broadens the definition of \"multicultural families\" by exploring the diverse configurations of families with immigrants who crossed the Korean border during and after the 1990s, including undocumented migrant workers, divorce marriage immigrants, and Korean women partnered with Muslim immigrant husbands. Instead of perceiving immigrants as mere newcomers, the volume adopts a discursive approach, viewing them as settlers or first-generation immigrants who have undergone transformations in their post-migration lives and have matured their membership in Korean society. Through in-depth examinations of immigrants' identities, their quest for political representation, legal battles, and the aspirations of second-generation immigrants, the volume sheds light on the complex dynamics and experiences of these multicultural families in South Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 406g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 156 x 233 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781978803107\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ilju Kim,Julie S Kim,YoonKyung Kwak,Hyun Mee Kim,Yu Seon Yu,Sohoon Yi,Nora-Hui-Jung Kim,Hsin-Chieh Chang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096699105530,"sku":"9781978803107","price":29.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1656073411551_book.jpg?v=1656163465","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/redefining-multicultural-families-in-south-korea-reflections-and-future-directions-9781978803107","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
