摘要本文讲述了纽约纽堡中产阶级聚居区的五位韩国军人新娘的故事，重点讲述了她们与驻韩美军基地的联系以及她们在美国跨文化婚姻中的日常挣扎。它考察了美国士兵和韩国妇女在“营地城镇”或“GI城镇”（kijich'on）中发展个人和性关系的特定背景。它还研究了一些韩国妇女在饱受战争蹂躏的社会中将友爱作为一种生存策略的方式，以及她们在移民到美国后努力与美国主流社会达成协议的方式。这些生活史为我们提供了一个独特的透镜，通过它可以在军国主义、性别和移民的辩证框架内探讨美国和韩国之间的不平等权力关系。
ABSTRACT This article tells the stories of five Korean military brides in the predominantly middle‐class neighborhood of Newburgh, New York, focusing on their association with the American military bases in South Korea and their daily struggles in cross‐cultural marriages in the United States. It examines the particular contexts in which personal and sexual relations developed between American soldiers and Korean women in the ‘camp‐towns’ or ‘GI towns’ (kijich’on). It also looks at the ways in which some Korean women employed fraternization as a survival strategy in a war‐torn society, and in which they struggled to come to terms with the American mainstream society after their migration to the United States. These life histories provide us with a unique lens through which to explore the unequal power relations between the United States and South Korea within the dialectical framework of militarism, gender and migration.
