Married Immigrant Women in Multi-cultural Novels - With a Focus on Gong Sun-ok’s 「Garibong Yeon-ga」 - Song Myung-hee Since 2000s, the feminization of immigration has become more highlighted. For example, Asian females were incorporated into the lowest stratum of Korean society through working immigration, international marriages, illegal residence, and so on. Multi-cultural novels that deal with these social issues complain maladjusted reality that is hardly easy for immigrants who strive hard to adjust to Korean society. A book of novels of Gong Sun-ok that includes 「Garibong Yeon-ga」, Yoorang-gajok(2005), consists of a series of five novels published serially from the spring of 2002 until that of 2003 in Silcheonmunhak published quarterly. This article looks into the life of international married female immigrants, focusing on 「Garibong Yeon-ga」. The international marriage of Jang Myung-hwa from ethnic Koreans living in China was the economical reason for making money. Though Myung-hwa moves into Korean farming villages for a marriage with a dream of emerging from poverty, she’s not able to adapt to poverty. It was women’s oppression and poverty of patriarchy that made her maladjust to her marriage. After running away from home, Myung-hwa worked as a guide of a karaoke in Garibong-dong, and finally she was stabbed to death by an unidentified assailant for money on the street. 「Garibong Yeon-ga」 shows a failure story of supernational immigration for emerging from poverty by Jang Myung-hwa’s death. married immigrant women are undergoing multiple discrimination such as nationality, human race, gender, etc. However, the main conflict, above all things, is a problem of human rights and economy. As their purpose of immigration itself was an economical motive like escape from poverty of her homeland, the expansion of the welfare system for a low-income group of our society, including immigrants, is the first subject to solve for our society at present. Moreover, new values based on multi-culturalism, which accepts Diaspora foreigners as our true neighbors, are required for us in multi-cultural society, getting over discrimination.
