Crystal S. Anderson is affiliate faculty in Korean studies, Department of Modern and Classical Languages at George Mason University. She is author of Soul in Seoul: African American Popular Music and K-pop and Beyond ""The Chinese Connection"": Contemporary Afro-Asian Cultural Production, both published by University Press of Mississippi. Her work has appeared in African American Review, Ethnic Studies Review, and Extrapolation.
Crystal S. Anderson offers innovative and original approaches in
interpreting K-pop music culture. Instead of emphasizing K-pop
within Korean studies, Soul in Seoul positions its focus within a
traditional American studies context in addition to fan studies to
highlight the influence of African American pop music in K-pop
culture. Anderson's unique and rich research, tracing the
intertextuality of K-pop influenced by African American music,
including R&B, provides new insights on K-pop music, fan
studies, and globalization theory.--Dal Yong Jin, Distinguished SFU
Professor in the School of Communication, Simon Fraser
University
Soul in Seoul is a labor of love, and K-pop junkies will eat it
up."--Pat Padua "Spectrum Culture"
