The contributors provide exploratory accounts and critical evaluations of Koreatowns in different countries throughout the world. Ranging from familiar settings such as Los Angeles and New York City, to more unfamiliar locales such as Singapore, Beijing, Mexico, U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and the American Midwest, this collection not only examines the social characteristics and contours of these spaces, but also the types of discourses and symbols that they exude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Koreatowns as Economic Formations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: The Emergence of a Transborder Koreatown in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinjeong Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: A Tale of Two Enclaves: Divergent Trajectories among South Korean Educational Migrants in Los Angeles’ Koreatown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarolyn Choi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Transnational Entrepreneurship in Manhattan’s Koreatown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJinwon Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Politics of Koreatowns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: The Split Enclave: Transnationalism and Co-ethnic Conflict in Beijing’s Koreatown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSharon J.
