Description

The Korean communities in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires were the first in a foreign country Korean communities that the new Republic of Korea initiated and supported. The initiative used to be taken to relieve the economic suffering of the poverty-stricken country in the 1960s. Among South American countries that were open to Korean immigrants, Brazil and Argentina attracted the most, which included even undocumented Korean migrants from neighboring countries. The two Korean communities (about 45,000 people in Sao Paulo and 20,000 in Buenos Aires) represent almost two thirds of the Korean residents in Latin The us. Through the years, global forces emanating basically from East Asia, North The us, and South The us have affected the Korean communities. The intensity and directions of the triangular pulls and pushes have varied, reflecting changing global socioeconomic conditions. This has created tension and ambiguity a number of the Korean migrant and host communities. Taking a look at the two communities comparatively, the focal point will be at the effects of the global pulls on Korean identity formation, community development patterns, integration efforts, social mobility, education for children, remigration, return migration, and relationships with the host communities. Wherever applicable, the experiences of Korean communities are compared with that of other East Asian communities, namely the Chinese and Japanese in Latin The us.
