Appendix II. Chronology of Korean Community in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires
This is a rare and useful study of the “Korean diaspora” in South America that profiles the Korean communities in São Paulo and Buenos Aires. It is a welcome addition to the English literature on Asians in Latin America, which has focused on peoples of Japanese descent and has ignored the Koreans.
— Takeyuki Tsuda, Arizona State University
A strong transnational and comparative study, Global Pulls compares not only Korean communities in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires, but Koreans in Latin America with those in North America. It also sheds much light on the Korean government’s efforts to accommodate overseas Koreans.
