Description

Book Synopsis
Examines the turbulent period of South Korea's Fourth Republic (1972-79), beginning with its declaration by Park Chung Hee and ending with his assassination. This volume brings together a wide range of scholars to explore the rich and varied cultural production of the Yusin period, especially in its relationship to state power.

Trade Review
Cultures of Yusin brings to the fore the hitherto neglected area of research: the culture of the 1970s as a site of national identity for both the state and the oppositional social movement; as a site of state indoctrination and mobilization of the citizenry and simultaneously of subversive-and individualized-expression of the people; and as a source of plural meanings and lived experiences for the people, among others. Each chapter presents new factual and historical knowledge on unfamiliar topics, and offers fresh and informed perspectives and interpretations on areas we thought we already knew."" - Namhee Lee, UCLA
