| Summary / Abstract (Note) |
This study explores how transnational working holidaymakers imagine and negotiate their identity positions in ethno-racial structures of the host society. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 53 Korean working holidaymakers in Canada, the study addresses how the young people are racialised by being exposed to the 'white gaze' and re-ethnicised by engaging with the Korean diaspora. The study examines how the transnational mobility of working holidays both breaks from and continues the mobile subjects' ethno-racial identity. The study's findings contribute to the understanding of the racial dimensions of working holidaymaking, a largely overlooked topic in previous tourism studies. |
