摘要

This study explores the campus life of Ghanaian international students in South Korea through the lens of critical multiculturalism. Since the early 2000s, South Korea has introduced programs for international students, leading to a significant increase in their numbers. Notably, Ghanaian international students constitute a high percentage of African students studying in South Korea, and this population continues to grow. However, cultural differences between international and local Korean students have led to rising incidents of cultural denial, exclusion, and neglect. This study, based on interviews with two Ghanaian international students, chronologically organizes their experiences in South Korea to identify recurring themes of denial, exclusion, and neglect. Drawing on critical multiculturalism, the analysis focuses on key issues such as the recognition of differences, cultural assimilation, marginalization and domination, and unconscious exploitation under capitalism, offering insights into the challenges faced by minority groups in similar contexts.
