Korean Immigrants in Latin America: Home Away from Home is a multidisciplinary volume exploring the evolution of transnational Korean communities, tracing migration experiences, processes of cultural adjustment, and the formation of new identities across varied Latin American settings.Bringing together scholars from diverse countries and academic fields, the book uses historical, ethnographic, and qualitative methods to analyze how Korean immigrants have navigated identity, integration, and community-building in Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, and Brazil. Topics include migration history, intra-ethnic diversity, economic and cultural development, acculturation, and globalization. Addressing key questions about why Koreans migrated, how they integrated and prospered, and how they've negotiated identity, culture, and relationships with local societies and states, this collection offers richly textured insights into Korean diaspora experiences and transnational community dynamics.

This book provides a very innovative perspective on diasporas by examining both the historical formation of various Korean immigrant communities in Latin American while also addressing their contemporary ethnic and cultural status. Unlike other edited books about diasporas, it is not merely a compilation of isolated case studies in different countries. Instead, the book convincingly demonstrates that Korean diasporic communities in Latin America are not simply constituted by migratory dispersal from the ethnic homeland, but are also embedded in continuing migration patterns to and from various countries in the Americas and elsewhere.
