The East Asian Studies Program presents Book Talk: Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies

Description

Erin Aeran Chung, an associate professor of East Asian politics at Johns Hopkins University, will give a book talk on "Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies."

How do we explain divergent patterns of immigrant incorporation in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan given the similarities between each country's immigration and citizenship policies, their overlapping immigrant populations, and their common dilemmas of accommodating social diversity while adhering to liberal democratic principles? Based on more than 150 in-depth interviews and focus groups with over 20 immigrant communities, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies examines how the civic legacies of past struggles for democracy shape current movements for immigrant rights and recognition.

This event is cosponsored by the East Asian Studies Program and the Department of Political Science.
