The paper examines Nora Okja Keller’s Fox Girl as a text that reveals ironic American dream of camptown sex workers. By examining two heroines’ migration path from a US military camptown of South Korea to America, I attempt to look closely into the process in which American dream is developed into a powerful myth for the two heroines. Through constant interactions with American soldiers residing in their war-stricken country, the two girls learn to relish American products and envision America as a land of freedom. This is an ironic dream, I argue, considering that many women including themselves, suffer from gendered and raciallized oppression in their encounters with American soldiers as they are subsumed into the sex industry set up to cater the desires of American soldiers. Nonetheless, the heroines attempt to escape America Town and succeed in migrating to America, following their American dream. Despite their success in migration and seeming happy ending of the text, American dream remains a myth to both women, who are faced with newly applied oppressions as illegal immigrants in their newly adopted country.
