Dear Colleagues,

 
Please allow me to share the recent publication of Seoul Journal of Korean Studies Special Issue "Contemporary Zainichi Experience: Past, Present, and Future Trajectories" (Winter 2023, Volume 36: 2), a continuation of the Special Issue Summer 2023, published by Seoul National University's Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies.
 
As Special Issue Guest Editor for Summer and Winter 2023, I have had the great honor of bringing together a one-year conversation dedicated to "Contemporary Zainichi Experience" that showcases an international dialogue and a global positioning of Zainichi as subject of research that traverses numerous national boundaries, with collaborations from contributors and reviewers from 14 countries. The Winter Special Issue, along with the main articles, is also accompanied by short essays, poems, and a rap by scholars, activists, poets, a rapper, and everyday individuals who contributed their thoughts on "Zainichi" and can be found in the appendix of the Guest Editor's Introduction.
 

Please go to Project MUSE and Korean Studies Information Service System for the articles:
