Peruvian migrant workers began arriving in South Korea in large numbers in the mid 1990s, eventually becoming one of the largest groups of non-Asians in the country. Migrant Conversions shows how despite facing unstable income and legal exclusion, migrants come to see Korea as an ideal destination. Some even see it as part of their divine destiny. Faced with looming departures, Peruvians develop cosmopolitan plans to transform themselves from economic migrants into pastors, lovers, and leaders. Set against the backdrop of 2008's global financial crisis, Vogel explores the intersections of three types of conversions- money, religious beliefs and cosmopolitan plans-to argue that conversions are how migrants negotiate the meaning of their lives in a constantly changing transnational context. At the convergence of cosmopolitan projects spearheaded by the state, churches, and other migrants, Peruvians change the value and meaning of their migrations. Yet, in attempting to make themselves at home in the world and give their families more opportunities, they also create potential losses. As Peruvians help carve out social spaces, they create complex and uneven connections between Peru and Korea that challenge a global hierarchy of nations and migrants. Exploring how migrants, churches and nations change through processes of conversion reveals how globalization continues to impact people's lives and ideas about their futures and pasts long after they have stopped moving, or that particular global moment has come to an end. 606 $aForeign workers, Peruvian$zKorea (South)$xSocial conditions 610 $aasia. 610 $aclergy. 610 $aconversion. 610 $acosmopolitan. 610 $adiaspora. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aethnicity. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afinances. 610 $aforeign workers. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $agovernment. 610 $aimmigration. 610 $alabor. 610 $alatin america. 610 $alaw. 610 $amigrant workers. 610 $amigration. 610 $amoney. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aperu. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apoverty. 610 $arace. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious clergy. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $asouth america. 610 $asouth korea. 610 $awealth. 615 0$aForeign workers, Peruvian$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.868/8505195 700 $aVogel$b Erica, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0929314 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996347747403316 996 $aMigrant Conversions$92088661 997 $aUNISA LEADER 00940nam a22002533i 4500 001 991003220399707536 005 20040129141822.0 008 040802s1994 it |||||||||||||||||ita 020 $a884441287X 035 $ab13042506-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-099511$9ExL 040 $aBiblioteca Interfacoltà$bita$cA.t.i.
