Diasporic Hallyu

More about the book

Focusing on the experiences of diasporic Korean youth, this book explores their engagement with the Korean Wave, or Hallyu, through an ethnographic study of Korean Canadian adolescents. It critically analyzes how these youth navigate cultural flows and negotiate their identities amidst multiple national contexts. By framing the Korean Wave as a practice of diasporic culture rather than merely a diffusion of products, the work enhances the understanding of transnational audience studies and youth cultural practices.
