- Abstract
- This article examines the spatial and temporal changes of North Korean (NK)
migration by analyzing the interactive process between NKs efforts to cross borders
amidst changing geopolitical and economic circumstances and the activities at
the domestic, local, state, and international levels to manage displacement from
a gender perspective. In doing so, I argue that the border between North Korea
and China became violent and that NK migrations became spatially gendered and
class-stratified. The proportion of NK women entering South Korea remains high,
primarily due to the secondary migration of those who have long resided in China in
de facto marriage relationships with Chinese men. In contrast, among recent direct
defectors, NK men constitute a significant proportion and they often play an active
role in family migration.
