초록

This paper shows that the formation process of the new minority group of foreign migrant workers. South Korea has moved along this well-traveled road, sending its citizens abroad for centuries, but since late-1980s taking in increasing numbers of immigrants. The inflow of migrant workers challenges to an ethnically homogeneous Korean society ― they have different national backgrounds, religious features, and racial backgrounds. Some migrant workers have suffered severe discriminations. Finally, they have got a group consciousness of “foreign migrant workers” as a new minority group in Korea. This paper also presents a sociological explanation of foreign migrant workers’ discrimination with five factors: chauvinism, racism, xenophobia, hierarchical nationhood, and hierarchical concept of occupation.

Abstract

This paper shows that the formation process of the new minority group of foreign migrant workers. South Korea has moved along this well-traveled road, sending its citizens abroad for centuries, but since late-1980s taking in increasing numbers of immigrants. The inflow of migrant workers challenges to an ethnically homogeneous Korean society ― they have different national backgrounds, religious features, and racial backgrounds. Some migrant workers have suffered severe discriminations. Finally, they have got a group consciousness of “foreign migrant workers” as a new minority group in Korea. This paper also presents a sociological explanation of foreign migrant workers’ discrimination with five factors: chauvinism, racism, xenophobia, hierarchical nationhood, and hierarchical concept of occupation.
