Abstract

As the increase of foreign migrants in Korea transforms a single-ethnichomogenous Korean society into multiethnic and multicultural one,Korean government and the civil society pay close attention to multicul-turalism as an alternative value to their policy and social movement.This paper scrutinizes the realities of multiethnic and multiculturalshift in terms of the matrix of class, gender, ethnicity, and physicalspace in Korea, and takes note of multiple social actors creating multi-cultural milieu in Korea with contradictive policy agenda and politicalstances. This articles main thesis is that the current discourses andconcerns on multiculturalism in Korea are mere political rhetorics andslogans, not the constructive and analytical concepts for transforming asociety.
