As a researcher and educator who has studied Korean immigrants and bilingual youth in the United States, I could effectively relate my research findings to the research included in this volume. Although the research sites differed, the process of transnational flows and superdiversity have common issues in the world. Not only from some familiar issues such as age, gender, and social class, but also from the latest issues such as responses to the Quebec Charter of Values in Montreal, Canada, or post-colonial Hong Kong, I could broaden and deepen my view of looking at the transnational phenomena and their impact on individuals' identity. Many other researchers in bilingualism, migration, and identity would also find the various research contexts and findings from the articles in this volume very interesting for their own research.
