Reviews
"On the Margins of Urban South Korea is an excellent collection of essays that covers urban issues in Korean Studies through the lens of two theoretical concepts: core location and Asia as method. Using rich research based on ethnography, this collection breaks new ground in scholarship by linking these two theoretical concepts to urban issues in Korea."
Eleana Kim, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Irvine:
"On the Margins of Urban South Korea not only provides cutting-edge urban ethnography on South Korea, but also offers a new theoretical paradigm with which to situate knowledge production in relation to South Korea as a ‘core location.’"
