Families for Mobility

Elite Korean Students Abroad and Their Parents' Reproduction of Privilege

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Families for Mobility documents elite Korean transnational families, focusing on how they use elite education abroad as a tool for class reproduction. Drawing on interviews with parents and children at elite U.S. colleges, the book argues that gendered transnational parenting—by both mothers and fathers—plays a crucial role in the intergenerational transmission of mobility and cosmopolitan lifestyles.
