“…Many marriage-labor immigrants who come to Korea through similar circumstances as Minh participate in cooking classes and language programs, in order to better fulfill the roles for which they came. Though sometimes criticized for their underlying assimilationist purpose (Kang, 2010), these programs do help immigrants survive, and in Minh's case, helped her realize that she had "an aptitude for studying.

In this paper, I investigate how Minh, as an immigrant mother, accepts, resists, and transforms available Korean cultural discourses about mothering. With the goal of exploring and understanding the discourses about mothering that pertain to immigrant families in Korea, I examine how local, national, and international histories of race, gender, class, citizenship, nationality, and culture shape the discourses of mothering in Korea. Through this process, the paper addresses the intersection between the discourses about mothering and marriage-labor immigrant families in the Korean context.To examine disparities and contradictions that emerged from my multiple ethnographic interviews with Minh between 2013 and 2015, I use Bakhtin's idea of heteroglossia as an analytic tool. The paper concludes by discussing the need for establishing renewed perspectives on the role of "Koreanness," the complexities of marriage-labor immigrants' lifeworlds, and mothering as cultural, emotional, and affective labor.

“…In Asian countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh segregation education has also resulted in the labelling and stigmatization of migrant children, both of which act as impediments to social inclusion on the one hand, and instantiations of educational exclusion on the other (Kang, 2010). In India, a similar version of the same story can be told, coupled with the fact that in India children migrate from rural to urban areas not just for access to education but for labor opportunities, due to extreme poverty and various forms of violence enacted upon them, including heinous types of domestic abuse (Iversen, 2002).…”

This paper reviews the current state of education for internal migrant children in urban China, with the aim of teasing out its ramifications for pedagogic equity expressed as performance outcomes. In recent years migrant children have been segregated predominantly in urban migrant schools, whereas students with a higher socioeconomic status may have access to integrated public schools populated mostly by urban children. This paper analyses publicly accessible policy papers and relevant scholarly literature to provide a contextualised interpretation of school segregation, with an aim to advance societal recognition of and responsibility for the inequities associated with the education of migrant children in China. Our intention is to tease out and make more transparent than has to date happened the implications of these disparities and inequities. It is to be hoped that this information will encourage policy makers to acknowledge that the amelioration of inequities in performance depends on reforming the current segregation procedures and administrative protocols which fail to maximise the access to equal educational opportunities to which Chinese migrant students should be entitled.

“…While the term's original coinage refers to an "external quasicitizenship" granted to noncitizens and cultural others based on a "perceived common ethnicity" (Bauböck, 2007(Bauböck, , p. 2396, ethnizenship can also be seen as a form of nationalism that associates holders of specific ethnicities with the possessors or definers of the national identity-note: Bell (2015) refers to this as "cultural nationalism" (p. 44). It then becomes apparent that Korea, a country that prides itself on being culturally and ethnically homogenous (Kang, 2010;Seol, 2014), practices a form of ethnizenship where the possession of the right kind of blood acts as the primary determinant of Koreanness.…”

“…For example, Oh et al (2012) describe Korea as historically being a homogenous society consisting of 99.9% ethnic Koreans. The writings of Kang (2010) and Oh (2013) include statements that emphasize the notion of Korea having unique national and cultural heritages that have for millennia created a sense of oneness, peace, and harmony. Others write of "immigration and emigration .…”

A Nation of One: A Critical Analysis of the Rise of the Notion of Ethnocultural Oneness in Twentieth-Century Korea

This essay has been written to critically explore the societal idealization of oneness held among the Korean people. Particular emphasis is paid to scholarly works published between the years 2010 and 2016. The central finding procured by reviewing works meeting this study's inclusion criteria suggests that the notion of ethnocultural oneness is a modern myth structured along the political ideologies of the state. As such, attention is duly afforded to the historic origins of oneness and how this perception emerged in the twentieth century as a response to the period of Japanese colonization , the Korean War (1950)(1951)(1952)(1953), and the years in which Korea experienced rapid industrial development. It is assumed that the knowledge generated from this study may be used to (a) extend critical discourse on Korea's cultural history, (b) provide an alternative view on the formation of Korea's national identity, and (c) illuminate taken for granted perceptions that have been propagated among the people of Korea in the twentieth century as means to promote a sense of togetherness.
