analyzes South Korea's response to growing ethnic/racial,
class, cultural, and religious diversity through the influx of migrant workers
and marriage migrants, mostly from South and Southeast Asia.<span style> </span>Korea historically was regarded as one of the
most ethnically homogeneous societies in the world.<span style> </span>In the past several years, however, there has
been a path-breaking and deliberate decision by policymakers to fashion Korea
into a 'multicultural society' (<i>damunhwa sahoe</i>).<span style> </span>Henceforth, policies regarding the regulation
and social integration of a broad and diverse category of migrants have been
implemented. At the centerpiece of what Daisy calls Korea's 'multicultural project,'
are marriage migrants (<i>kyeolhon iju yeoseong</i>) and multicultural families
(<i>damunhwa gajeong</i>), who have arguably received the most visible support of the
government and society. Why has such a path toward immigration and immigrant
integration been pursued?<span style> </span>
