( So Hee Lee )
UCI I410-ECN-0102-2009-840-003802366

This article focuses on analyses of first-person narratives by a former Korean comfort woman mother, Akiko, and her Korean-American daughter, Beccah. Akiko`s narrative claims to write the alternative history in which the Korean Military Sexual Slavery by Japan was experienced under Japanese colonialism. Her post-traumatic narrative was intertwined by Induk`s immanent presence in Akiko`s body influenced by shamanistic performance. Beccah`s first-person narrative shows how the immigrant Korean-American family overcomes the specific post-traumatic symptoms and how the Korean-American daughter embraces the tragic situation while searching for her own Korean cultural and historical legacy and her own subjectivity as a Korean-American daughter. Thus, Keller`s writing evokes and sustains the complex issues of nationality, subjectivity, memory, and first-person narrative that interweave in the formation of identity and subject-making.
