Review Quotes: "The countries of East Asia - historically some of the most ethnically homogeneous in the world - are increasingly experiencing the impacts of international migration, leading them to confront the possibilities and challenges of multiculturalism. This collection brings together a range of superb original essays which explore the shared experiences of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in the negotiation of growing cultural diversity in their midst." --Ien Ang, Distinguished Professor of Cultural Studies, Western Sydney University
