Book excerpt: This dissertation narrates four stories about how a transnational community of interested parties helped shape American perceptions and understandings of Korea and Koreans, from a time when only certain groups knew or cared about Korea to a time when virtually every American was aware of the geopolitical significance of Korea. Two of the moments discussed here took place when Korea was a colony of Japan: a so-called "conspiracy case" in 1911 and the 1919 independence movement. The other two moments transpired in the context of the Cold War when Korean orphans and Korean exchange students came to the United States in the 1950s. In recounting these stories, I seek, not so much to chronicle state actions or the work of formal policy-makers but rather to analyze the experiences of Americans and Koreans who encountered each other outside the circles of foreign policy elites and the effects of those encounters. I argue that the interplay of perceptions, people, and official and unofficial policy can be seen in the work of people such as missionaries, mission board members, Korean expatriates, adoptive parents, social workers, journalists, and academics who tried to bind Americans and Koreans through empathetic connections. They did so by portraying Koreans as Christian converts, as supporters of democracy and democratic ideals, and as people embracing western or American cultural norms, including language, schooling, dress, and morals. In molding American perceptions of Koreans, the actors in this dissertation attempted to influence U.S. and Korean relations. They did not always succeed in their goals but, through their endeavors, they facilitated policy discussions, forged ties between the United States and Korea, and began to break down cultural barriers between Koreans and Americans.

Book Conversion of Chinese Students in Korea to Evangelical Christianity

This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Leader Member Exchange

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Leader Member Exchange written by Talya N. Bauer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leader-member exchange (LMX) is the foremost dyadic theory in the leadership literature. Whereas contemporary leadership theories such as transformational, servant, or authentic leadership theories focus on the effects of leader behaviors on employee attitudes, motivation, and team outcomes, relational leadership theory views the dyadic relationship quality between leaders and members as the key to understanding leader effects on members, teams, and organizations. This approach views trust- and respect-based relationships as the cornerstone of leadership. LMX has grown from a new theory in the 1970s to a mature area of research in 2015. Interest in this theory has increased rapidly over the past four decades, and the pace of research in this area continues to accelerate dramatically. The Oxford Handbook of Leader-Member Exchange takes stock of the literature to examine its roots, what is currently known, what research gaps may exist, and what areas are in need of the most urgent research.

Book Human Trafficking  Structural Violence  and Resilience

Download or read book Human Trafficking Structural Violence and Resilience written by Amie L. Lennox and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and examines human trafficking in Eastern Mindanao in the Philippines, and the social conditions which facilitate and maintain this exploitation. Through a combination of ethnographic research and life-narrative interviews, the book tells the stories of those who have experienced exploitation, and analyses the social conditions which form the context for these experiences. This book places the trafficking of migrants in context of the local social setting where migration, including human trafficking of migrants, is one of the limited options available for work. It explores how these social configurations contribute to exploitation both domestically and internationally. This book also draws on first-person accounts from those who have experienced trafficking or exploitation, offering lived experiences which reveal deep and complex cultural, social, and personal expressions of meaning, resilience, and hope within constrained, unequal, and even violent circumstances. This book will appeal to students and scholars researching and studying in the fields of social and cultural anthropology, and Southeast Asian studies.

Book Doing Business in Minority Markets

Download or read book Doing Business in Minority Markets written by Robert Mark Silverman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2000. The invisible hand of the market cannot conceal color. This study contends that the economy is an extension of society’s system of racial and ethnic stratification. The central argument of this study is that the internal colonial paradigm should be used as a guiding principle in the analysis of minority business development in minority markets. Through the use of this paradigm, the institutional constraints of doing business in a minority market can be identified. The ethnic beauty aids industry was selected as the subject of this case study because it is embedded in the context of minority markets, which entail high concentrations of minority entrepreneurs and consumers. Minority entrepreneurs enter minority markets to avoid racial barriers they perceive in the mainstream economy, and minority consumers find minority markets more accessible and responsive to their consumption needs.

Book North Korea and the Global Nuclear Order

Download or read book North Korea and the Global Nuclear Order written by Edward Howell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a state that has gained a global reputation as a violator of international norms, not least through its unwavering pursuit of nuclear weapons, North Korea's determination to become a nuclear-armed state is puzzling. If nuclear weapons beget security, insecurity, and other costs for the state, how might we understand this pursuit, and the delinquent behaviour that has arisen from it? In North Korea and the Global Nuclear Order, Edward Howell offers an answer to this question, focusing on North Korea's quest for status in the international system and developing the theoretical framework of 'strategic delinquency'. Featuring previously unpublished and new interviews with international negotiators with North Korea, and drawing upon new academic literature, Howell proffers an original theoretical framework to apply to the North Korean case. Covering a time period from the 1990s to the present-day, and using unprecedentedly rich empirical evidence, he makes the overarching argument that North Korea has strategically deployed behaviour that breaks international norms in order to reap benefits. In so doing, this book posits how over time, North Korea has learnt that despite the low status and opprobrium that might ensue, bad behaviour can pay.

Book Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea

Download or read book Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea written by Minjeong Kim and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea provides an in-depth look at the lives of families in Korea that include immigrants. Ten original chapters in this volume, written by scholars in multiple social science disciplines and covering different methodological approaches, aim to reinvigorate contemporary discussions about these multicultural families. Specially, the volume expands the scope of “multicultural families” by examining the diverse configurations of families with immigrants who crossed the Korean border during and after the 1990s, such as the families of undocumented migrant workers, divorced marriage immigrants, and the families of Korean women with Muslim immigrant husbands. Second, instead of looking at immigrants as newcomers, the volume takes a discursive turn, viewing them as settlers or first-generation immigrants in Korea whose post-migration lives have evolved and whose membership in Korean society has matured, by examining immigrants’ identities, need for political representation, their fights through the court system, and the aspirations of second-generation immigrants.

Book The Host Gaze in Global Tourism

Download or read book The Host Gaze in Global Tourism written by Omar Moufakkir and published by CABI. This book was released on 2013 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most tourism theories have been developed from the tourists' perspective and focus on the Anglo-American experience. This unique book for researchers and students of tourism is the first to look at the host gaze; how it is constructed, how it has developed, how it varies between countries and how the tourism industry can affect it. By looking at the gazes of both Western and non-Western hosts, this book analyses the consequences such a gaze can have upon the tourist.
