The article examines the territory-based rhetoric of the cultural border, boundaries, and borderlands. It critiques the essentialist view that presumes fixed boundaries for a culture. The author advocates the constructivist view, which assumes that individuals have the power to define and redefine their cultural identities in a multicultural society. In light of this position, the author demonstrates several multicultural make­ups. The author shows that Korean immigrants, even though they come from the same country, form their own multiracial identities.
