| Summary |
"This book traces the recent multicultural education policies and the 2009 National Multicultural Curriculum Reform in South Korea, and examines the political, ideological and socio-cultural politics underlying the 2009 reform and how the government's interpretation and practices of multiculturalism have been intertwined with, and been challenged by, progressive and migrant-led agents/agencies. Through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of government policy documents and a range of media sources, as well as the 2009 national curriculum reform policy documents and the 23 corresponding Korean language arts textbooks, this book examines how the conservative government's multicultural policy documents sided with international marriage families, delivering success stories of migrant wives and images of very obedient migrant women. This book also examines how the government's documents on the 2009 national curriculum reform emphasized the superiority of Korean ethnic groups and the cultural kinship among Koreans, and sympathy toward different Others' lives rather than encouraging respect and mutual understanding"-- Provided by publisher |
