Instead, it is shaped by Korea's changing position in global capitalism, its own postcolonial history, developmental nationalism, and its recent transition from a migrant-sending to a migrant-receiving country. Migrant workers and marriage migrants are incorporated into Korean society as economically and reproductively necessary, yet they are also marked as others who are outside full belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy analyzing labor and marriage migration, this book offers new insights into race in a rapidly globalizing East Asian society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
