Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the intersection of disability and refugee is experienced by North Korean refugees during their childhood. A Critical Disability Studies theoretical framework is used to understand the interplay of social and embodied aspects of disability within the conditions faced by North Korean refugees across multiple borders and contexts. Data is reported from interviews with two teachers and eight young adults and students about their childhood experiences before, during, and after their journey to relocate in South Korea. We report findings of the violence that North Korean refugee children and adolescents experience and the structural, political, economic, and cultural conditions that shape North Korean refugee children’s access to rights, such as health care and education. Further, we highlight how identities, such as gender and ethnicity, impact the embodied experiences of North Korean refugee children, and their relationship to multiple nation-states.
残疾与难民身份交汇处的北韩难民童年经历
本文的目的是研究朝鲜难民在童年时期是如何经历残疾和难民的交集的。批判性残疾研究的理论框架被用来理解残疾的社会和具体方面的相互作用,在朝鲜难民所面临的条件下,跨越多个边界和背景。数据来自对两名教师和八名青年和学生的采访,了解他们在移居韩国之前、期间和之后的童年经历。我们报告了朝鲜难民儿童和青少年遭受暴力的调查结果,以及影响朝鲜难民儿童获得保健和教育等权利的结构、政治、经济和文化条件。此外,我们还强调了性别和种族等身份如何影响朝鲜难民儿童的具体经历,以及他们与多个民族国家的关系。
