Abstract
This paper looks at the effects of the U.S. military presence in South Korea, specifically, prostitution in communities around the military bases, on Amerasian children and their Korean mothers. The data were gathered from a series of interviews with both groups of people, feminist activists addressing the problem of U. S. militarism in South Korea, and social service providers working with Amerasian children. It is argued that the issues discussed in this paper need to be seen in terms of the U.S. military as an institution, the militarized masculinity which it generates, and women's socio-economic position. Using the analytical lenses of gender, race, class, and nation, a call is made for activist scholarship by feminists to address this problem.
