Abstract
The purpose of this study was to review the implications of the marriage migrant women’s self-help community for individuals and society through an oral life history. For this purpose, the study used D.G. Mandelbaum’s framework of analysis such as dimensions of life, turnings and adaptation. In dimensions of life, it has a meaning as an arena for acceptance struggle and that for the solidarity platform. At the turning point, the marriage migrant women attempted to solve the very delicate problems facing them in their real life, and therefore, they perceived the self-help community as an arena for their transformation from ‘otherness’ to ‘subjectification’ as well as that for a financial support. In the life of adaptation, they attached a meaning of space for solving the social problems. After all, it is deemed necessary to support and finance the marriage migrant women’s self-help community as a social value space to develop Korean society into an inclusive multi-cultural society.
