While popular trends, cuisine, and long-standing political tension
have made Korea familiar in some ways to a vast English-speaking
world, its recorded history of some two millennia remains
unfamiliar to most. Korea: A History addresses general readers,
providing an up-to-date, accessible overview of Korean history from
antiquity to the present. Eugene Y. Park draws on original-language
sources and the up-to-date synthesis of East Asian and
Western-language scholarship to provide an insightful account. This
book expands still-limited English-language discussions on
pre-modern Korea, offering rigorous and compelling analyses of
Korea's modernization while discussing daily life, ethnic
minorities, LGBTQ history, and North Korean history not always
included in Korea surveys. Overall, Park is able to break new
ground on questions and debates that have been central to the field
of Korean studies since its inception.
