{"product_id":"decentering-citizenship-hae-yeon-choo-9780804799669","title":"Decentering Citizenship: Gender, Labor, and Migrant Rights in South Korea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDecentering Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e follows three groups of Filipina migrants' struggles to belong in South Korea: factory workers claiming rights as workers, wives of South Korean men claiming rights as mothers, and hostesses at American military clubs who are excluded from claims--unless they claim to be victims of trafficking. Moving beyond laws and policies, Hae Yeon Choo examines how rights are enacted, translated, and challenged in daily life and ultimately interrogates the concept of citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoo reveals citizenship as a language of social and personal transformation within the pursuit of dignity, security, and mobility. Her vivid ethnography of both migrants and their South Korean advocates illuminates how social inequalities of gender, race, class, and nation operate in defining citizenship. \u003ci\u003eDecentering Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e argues that citizenship emerges from negotiations about rights and belonging between South Koreans and migrants. As the promise of equal rights and full membership in a polity erodes in the face of global inequalities, this decentering illuminates important contestation at the margins of citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hae Yeon Choo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804799660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804799669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2016","brand":"Hae Yeon Choo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120262934783,"sku":"9780804799669","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcaaf4ab-62ab-4df7-bf76-1575550dd631.jpg?v=1687413373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decentering-citizenship-hae-yeon-choo-9780804799669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
