Focus on NonElectoral Engagement: This study investigates the political participation of Korean immigrants in São Paulo, Brazil, with a particular focus on nonelectoral engagement. Unlike prior studies that center on formal political participation, this research examines alternative forms of political expression, such as digital activism, community involvement, and religious discourses. Employing a mixed methods approach, the study combines a survey of 260 respondents with 34 indepth interviews and participant observation. The findings reveal that over half of respondents have engaged in political activities, primarily through noninstitutional means like social media expression, online petitions, and community campaigns. Key factors influencing participation include citizenship status, age, and levels of political efficacy. Furthermore, widespread distrust in political institutions often motivates a shift toward nonelectoral political practices. Utilizing the concepts of “boundary citizenship” and “acts of citizenship,” this study illustrates how Korean immigrants assert political agency and civic identity despite structural limitations. The research offers new insights into immigrant political behavior, emphasizing how marginalized communities creatively engage in politics beyond conventional electoral frameworks.
