Dangerous Women: Gender and Korean Nationalism

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Anaylsis
Review: Professor Kim is simply amazing in this book and you can see why she is regarded as one of the leading experts in the field of Asian Studies, Ethnic Studies, Asian American Studies. Particularly helpful is the voice that Prof. Kim gives to the disenfranchised in historical books. They say historical books are written by conquerors. Nationalist movements that succeed generally give credit to the one who takes the credit as the conqueror, but we have to remember that there are many people before him (or her) who remain silent because they were in the stage of struggle and suffering, rather than victory. There should be more historical studies like this.
