In search of a better life: a history of Korean migration to Cape Town

This study records and interprets the history and meanings of Korean migration to South Africa, especially Cape Town, from 1990 to 2011. Korean immigrants in South Africa came to establish a better life. This lead to my central project question: What does a "better life" mean to Korean immigrants in South Africa? To answer this question, I have investigated Korean immigrants' motivations for migrating, family decision-making and their life experiences in South Africa.
