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.

Based on ethnographic fieldwork, Elusive Belonging examines Filipinas who married rural South Korean bachelors in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Turning away from the common stereotype of Filipinas as victims of domestic violence at the mercy of husbands and in-laws, Minjeong Kim provides a nuanced understanding of both the conflicts and emotional attachments of their relationships with marital families and communities. Her close-up accounts of the day-to-day operations of the state's multicultural policies and public programs show intimate relationships between Filipinas, South Korean husbands, in-laws, and multicultural agents, and how various emotions of love, care, anxiety, and gratitude affect immigrant women's fragmented citizenship and elusive sense of belonging to their new country. By offering the perspectives of varied actors, the book reveals how women's experiences of tension and marginalization are not generated within the family alone; they also reflect the socioeconomic conditions of rural Korea and the state's unbalanced approach to "multiculturalism."

Against a backdrop of the South Korean government's multicultural policies and projects aimed at integrating marriage immigrants, Elusive Belonging attends to the emotional aspects of citizenship rooted in a sense of belonging. It mediates between a critique of the assimilation inherent in Korea's "multiculturalism" and the contention that the country's core identity is shifting from ethnic homogeneity to multiethnic diversity. In the process it shows how marriage immigrants are incorporated into the fabric of Korean society even as they construct new identities as Filipinas in South Korea.

North Korea has threatened further escalation after it blew up a joint Korean liaison office earlier this week, amid deteriorating relations on the peninsula and dwindling hopes of diplomatic success on sanctions relief and denuclearization.

The regime's official newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun, said Thursday that the demolition of the inter-Korean liaison office in Kaesong on Tuesday was "only the beginning," according to the South Korean Yonhap news agency.

Kim Jong Un's regime has ramped up its criticism of South Korea in recent weeks. Pyongyang is frustrated by defector groups across the border floating propaganda balloons into North Korea territory carrying messages decrying Kim's human rights abuses, South Korean media, and other goods.

The North has also grown increasingly annoyed by a lack of diplomatic progress since a surprise detente between Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington, D.C. in 2018. Sanctions relief and denuclearization talks have consistently failed, and the North has returned to its characteristic rhetorical belligerence and regular weapons tests.

This month, the North threatened to cut all cross-border communication, blew up the liaison office in Kaesong and has threatened to re-occupy sensitive areas demilitarized as part of a 2018 inter-Korean agreement.

The Rodong Sinmun said Thursday that the Kaesong explosion was "just the beginning," and that the "explosive sound of justice that will continue to come out could go far beyond the imagination of those who make a noise about what could unfold."

Kim's sister and senior aide Kim Yo Jong -increasingly prominent within the regime prompting rumors she is being prepared to succeed the young dictator, or at least act as a regent until one of his children are old enough to rule-had previously threatened to destroy the building as retaliation for the propaganda balloons.

After the liaison office was destroyed, the North Korean military said it was considering an action plan of next steps, which included re-occupying the areas it left in 2018. "Our military's patience has run out," the Rodong Sinmun declared. "The military's announcement that it is mulling a detailed military action plan should be taken seriously."

South Korea has announced plans to ban the propaganda balloons, though organizers have said they will continue their activities. The Rodong Sinmun said President Moon Jae-in's government had failed to address Pyongyang's concerns and that the regime would no longer discuss inter-Korean issues with Seoul. Moon's government, rather than Kim's, had abandoned "trust and promise," the newspaper claimed.

The Rodong Sinmun said the North was ready to conduct its own propaganda leafleting campaign, sending messages into what it called a country "which is home to human scum," seemingly referring to the defector groups that send balloons north.

There is speculation that Kim may be planning a fresh weapon test or other military action to increase tensions on the peninsula. America's July 4 celebrations are approaching ahead of November's presidential election, while U.S.-South Korean military exercises-long a bugbear for Pyongyang-are scheduled for August.

Yonhap noted that an aviation tracker reported that an aircraft used by Kim flew from Pyongyang to the eastern part of the country on Wednesday, prompting suggestions he may have traveled for an imminent weapon test or the launching of a ballistic missile-armed submarine.

South Korea's military has warned that Pyongyang will "pay the price" if it takes any fresh military action. For its part, the North Korean army has accused the South's defence ministry of "bragging and bluffing, rattling the dialogue partner and stoking a confrontational atmosphere."

We are thrilled to present a groundbreaking audio adaptation of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, a Chicago story about family, community and coming together even when that feels impossible. Julia, a Chicago high school student, navigates the trials and tribulations of following her dreams of becoming a writer alongside the death of her sister, Olga-who might not have been quite as perfect as she seemed. Author of the novel Erika L. Sánchez has created an indelible protagonist in student Julia Reyes, who searches for her truest self while navigating the struggles of adolescence-depression, grief, self-doubt-in addition to the anxieties unique to a child of immigrants with a foot in two very different worlds. Julia is torn between a future limited by the same socioeconomic forces that curtail the opportunities open to her parents and her fervent ambitions to seek a more expansive life for herself as a writer.

This story is a timeless reminder that no matter one's country of origin, no matter what language one speaks, or what status one occupies, we all have dreams.

The New York Times best-selling novel is written in first-person narrative which translates beautifully into the deeply personal, journal-like audio experience. Listeners will be immersed into the main character's point of view and details of this vibrant world as Julia shares her innermost thoughts, whispering directly into our ears. Through this innovative new format, Julia's voice can now travel further than ever before and audiences all over the world will be able to experience Julia's journey of self-discovery for the very first time.

Isaac Gómez is an award-winning Chicago-based playwright, originally from El Paso, Texas/Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. We are proud to debut this audio adaptation and collaboration between Gómez and director and ensemble member Sandra Marquez with ensemble member Karen Rodriguez returning as Julia. This offering is a special opportunity to share this important and moving story with students around the world.
