    Abstract: This article reviews Korea's multicultural past, while also tracing the evolution of the myth of ethnic Korean homogeneity via the Tan'gun myth, whose earliest extant record dates from the thirteenth century. It highlights how the myth was recalibrated in the twentieth century in the face of Japanese cultural imperialism, and used to promote a nationalist, homogenous Korean identity. By exploring past intercultural exchanges and developments, this article also illustrates how this modern 'homogenous' identity has been misconstructed by both North and South Korea. This is now especially anachronistic for contemporary South Korea, which is fast becoming multiracial and multicultural, but where biracial people are often discriminated against. Finally, I argue that by deconstructing the Tan'gun myth, one discovers that it already inherently possesses the potential to resolve the problematic nationalistic myth of ethnic homogeneity in a growing multiracial society, which still, in the twenty-first century, emphasises racial 'purity'.

    Abstract: 'Transnational East Asian Studies' demonstrates how transnationalism as a mode of intellectual enquiry has wide-ranging interdisciplinary potential and has immense value when examining the past, just as much as much as when examining the present. Artificially erected borders, which appear on maps and globes, fail to consider the ways people in diverse regions live and practice their everyday lives, existing beyond boundaries. The people of East Asia have always been on the move, they have never been homogeneous, and have evolved together, not apart. In this sense, people around the globe and also in East Asia have always been involved in a process of change and transformation. This book thus underscores the complex interactions in the context of East Asia, past and present, while shaping the future of this complicated region.
