By examining privileged and highly skilled Asian migrants, such as international students who acquire legal permanent residency in the United States, this book registers and traces these transnational figures as racialized transnational elites and illuminates the intersectionality and reconfiguration of race, class, ethnicity, and nationality. Using in-depth interviews with Korean international students in New York City and Koreans in South Korea as a case study, this book argues that racialized transnational elites are embedded in racial and ethnic dynamics in the United States as well as in class and nationalist conflicts with non-migrant co-ethnics in the sending country. Sung-Choon Park further argues that strategic responses to the local, social dynamics shape transnational practices such as diaspora-building, transfer of knowledge, conversion of cultural capital, and cross-border communication about race, causing heterogeneous social consequences in both societies.

Employing a “lens of simultaneity,” Park advances a strikingly original framework for analysis. Drawing upon and extending the existing literature on globalization and migration, he demonstrates how Korean international students simultaneously occupy unequal and incongruent social statuses in both South Korea and the U.S. In doing so, he provides a rich and nuanced account of the lives, experiences, and transnational practices of these international students that is attentive to race, class, and gender.
