“…However, marriage migrants from Anglophone countries have been largely ignored. There are a few studies on Anglophone expatriate wives married to Korean husbands in Korea (Kim, 2019;Son, 2019), but there is currently no literature focusing exclusively on the perceptions and experiences of Anglophone expatriate husbands married to Korean wives raising a multicultural family in Korea.…”

“…Past research has been conducted on female Anglophone marriage-migrants in Italy and Greece with regards to their social integration process in their husband's home country (Isaakyan & Triandafyllidou, 2014). Likewise, within the South Korean context, a study on Anglophone expatriate wives and their adaptation into Korean culture through social identity theory was completed (Son, 2019). However, there is currently no research on Anglophone expatriate husbands, a growing subcategory of multicultural families in Korea.…”

The rapid increase in globalization has changed the social dynamics of many countries around the world. This has especially been the case for the Republic of Korea. In this qualitative case study, the particular challenges of Anglophone expatriate male spouses married to Korean women are explored. Utilizing questionnaires, narrative frames, semi-structured interviews, and researcher field notes, three themes and five subthemes were found. The three main themes are lack of appropriate government support services, limitations due to low Korean proficiency, and issues of power and inequality between the spouses. The subthemes include communication struggles, daily functioning difficulties, lack of decision-making power, and desire for social acceptance and equality. The results indicate that the needs of Anglophone expatriate male spouses have been largely ignored compared to other subgroups of foreign spouses in Korea as most of the services provided by the government through multicultural centers and other government facilities are aimed towards southeast Asian wives of Korean husbands. Thus, this study concludes that current government policies regarding foreign spouses and multicultural families need to be improved to become more inclusive of the needs of all categories of foreign spouses and multicultural families in Korea. This inclusivity will lead towards greater multicultural family sustainability in the future. Received: 10 October 2022 / Accepted: 26 December 2022 / Published: 5 January 2023

Cultural identity is of great significance to the formation of group consensus and the establishment of cultural self-confidence. In order to understand the history, current situation and trend, and provide theoretical support for future research, this paper makes a quantitative analysis of knowledge map including annual publication volume, trend, distribution of authors and institutions, co-occurrence, clustering and timeline of keywords as well as emergent keywords on the literature concerning ethnic cultural identity published in “Web of Science” database for a period from 2012 to 2022, with CiteSpace software as a tool. The results show an overall upward trend with diversified ethnic and regional characteristics; major institutions including universities of the U.S., the U.K., Australia, China and other countries and regions engage in their research from different disciplines such as psychology, sociology, ethnology and education; the researchers have not formed a core group of authors despite their accumulating number; research hotspots are indicated by keywords such as national identity, identity, ethnic identity and attitude; specifically, keyword clusters fall into three categories: emotional perception, multicultural identity process and ethnic cultural adaptability; researchers probe into various issues at different stages with direct relation to international situations and regional cultures. This study has positive implications for understanding and mastering the current research hotspots and development trends of ethnic cultural identity in the world.
