Review
South Korea's Education Exodus provides readers with rich narratives centering on Early Study Abroad (ESA) as a lens through which one can understand not only the inner workings of ESA but its intimate connections with broader structural factors. . . . [A] useful resource in undergraduate courses on modern and contemporary Korea, international education, inter-Asia cultural studies, multiculturalism, and globalization.
