![]() | Elusive Belonging: Marriage Immigrants and “Multiculturalism@quot; in Rural South Korea Subjects: Intercountry marriage -- Korea (South); Foreign spouses -- Korea (South) -- Social conditions; Women immigrants -- Family relationships -- Korea (South); Filipinos -- Cultural assimilation -- Korea (South); Rural families -- Korea (South) -- Social condit; Elusive Belonging examines the post-migration experiences of Filipina marriage immigrants in rural South Korea. Marriage migration--crossing national borders for marriage--has attracted significant public and scholarly attention, especially in new destination countries, which grapple with how to integrate marriage migrants and their children and what that integration means for citizenship boundaries and a once-homogenous national identity. In the early twenty-first century many Filipina marriage immigrants arrived in South Korea under the auspices of the Unification Church, which has long served as an institutional matchmaker.
