Career
[edit]Lie's "sociological imagination" trilogy explores the intersection of biography, history, and social structure by analyzing his Korean diasporic experience. The trilogy comprises Blue Dreams: Korean Americans and the Los Angeles Riots, Han Unbound: The Political Economy of South Korea, and Multiethnic Japan.[2] The latest addition is "Zainichi (Koreans in Japan): Diasporic Nationalism and Postcolonial Identity".
His book titled Modern Peoplehood. sought to advance a unified theory to make sense of race, nation, ethnicity, racism, and (peoplehood) identity.[3] To advance a general theory of race, ethnicity, and nation that avoids ethnocentrism and essentialism, he proposed a theory of "modern peoplehood".[4]
Lie was Dean of International and Area Studies at Berkeley for five years.[1]
In the 2010s, Lie has continued to publish books on a variety of topics, including K-pop, East Asian political economy, and Japan and the idea of sustainable society.[citation needed]
