This is to find the right glocality in the era of globalization by sheding light on autonomy in Kim Suk Hee`s novel, Rumbling Earth (1988). The summary is as follows: First, Jeju Island is the area that has had the tradition of autonomy based on community spirit in the historical situations that have developed since the past autonomous nation. Such tradition was expressed during the liberation period. There are two aspects of the Independence Movement behind the April 3rd Uprising waged for the building of the nation state in the cause of the objection to the establishment of a separate government: independence from the United States and independence from the central government. Second, Rumbling Earth is a frame story in which the speaker ``I`` narrate the articles Kim Jong Min wrote about Hyun Yong Jik. Three characters` roles are tightly woven. Hyun Yong Jik the one who experienced April 3rd Uprising and lived in the mountain for 36 years. Kim Jong Min is a reporter who is pessimistic about Jeju`s reality. I is the character who delve into the two people and find the meanings. Third, This work is very different from other novels about April 3rd Uprising in that Hyun Yong Jik goes into the mountain and dreams of building the Republic of Tamna. Its writer maximized Jeju community`s autonomy by setting the situation where punitive forces are executed in the name of Tamna and bringing in the community rite that started from respecting the minister of Tamna Dynasty. And this story speaks volumes that this issue is still meaningful by underlining that this issue is also in the same context of Jeju that is devastated under the cloak of tourism development. Readers can conjure up Lao-tzu`s political ideal, "Small Kingdom and Little People." This makes us think that it has a significant meaning in association with the value realization of glocality that draws attention these days. We can guess that the success of Jeju Self-Governing Province depends on whether its autonomy is fully realized.
