Examination on the Level of Integration in the Host Society: Korean Diaspora in Vietnam
Keywords:
Koreans, Vietnam, migration, diaspora, integrationAbstract
Like any immigrants in any host countries, Korean diasporas face with similar issues in their efforts to acculturate and integrate into the host communities. Through different accounts of the Korean diasporas in Vietnam,China, Japan, countries of the former Soviet Union and North America, this comparative study seeks to confirm such hypotheses as whether large or small, in whichever host country they reside, or how long they have been there, Korean diasporas consistently demonstrate the same socio-demographic characteristics. These are associated with Korean immigrants’ high levels of urbanization, business and industrial engagement while preserving their Korean language, customs and traditions in their process of integration into the host cultures, which enables them to live in harmony with, and enjoy respect from, the Vietnamese society as well as other host communities.References
