Tsuda, Takeyuki.editor.

This book examines Korean cases of return migrations and diasporic engagement policy. The study concentrates on the effects of this migration on citizens who have returned to their ancestral homeland for the first time and examines how these experiences vary based on nationality, social class, and generational status. The project’s primary audience includes academics and policy makers with an interest in regional politics, migration, diaspora, citizenship, and Korean studies. Takeyuki Tsuda is Professor of Anthropology, Arizona State University, USA. Changzoo Song is Senior Lecturer in Korean and Asian Studies, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
