Korean International Students and the Making of Racialized Transnational Elites (Korean Communities across the World) - Hardcover
Book 8 of 24: Korean Communities across the World
Synopsis
Global mobility does not erase inequality—it often remakes it in new and revealing ways.
This book examines highly skilled and privileged Asian migrants - Korean international students who obtain permanent residency in the United States - as a form of racialized transnational elite. Drawing on in-depth interviews conducted in both New York City and South Korea, Sung-Choon Park traces how these individuals navigate overlapping systems of race, class, ethnicity, and nationality. Park shows that, while these migrants hold elite status, they remain embedded in U.S. racial hierarchies and simultaneously face class-based and nationalist tensions with non-migrant co-ethnics in their country of origin.
Park further argues that these migrants’ strategies for responding to local social dynamics shape their transnational practices, including diaspora formation, knowledge transfer, cultural capital conversion, and cross-border discussions about race. Organized across seven chapters, it explores themes such as global academic hierarchies, racial formation through language, shifting ethnic identification, conflicts over capital and expertise, transnational communication about racism, emergent forms of diasporic nationalism, and the role of digital media in sustaining cross-border lives.
This book challenges assumptions that privilege and mobility translate into unambiguous advantage, demonstrating instead that transnational elites occupy complex, often contradictory positions – an insight that reshapes how we understand inequality in an increasingly globalized world.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 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. An analysis of the ways in which the intersection of class, race, and ethnicity shape the practices of diaspora-building and knowledge transfer and cause heterogeneous consequences in society, this book examines emergent highly skilled Asian migrants as racialized transnational elites through interviews with Korean international students.
