In this historically grounded, richly empirical study of social and
economic transformation in North Korea, Hazel Smith evaluates the
'marketization from below' that followed the devastating famine of
the early 1990s, estimated to be the cause of nearly one million
fatalities. Smith shows how the end of the Cold War in Europe and
the famine brought radical social change to all of North Korean
society. This major new study analyses how marketization
transformed the interests, expectations and values of the entire
society, including Party members, the military, women and men, the
young and the elderly. Smith shows how the daily life of North
Koreans has become alienated from the daily pronouncements of the
North Korean government. Challenging stereotypes of twenty-five
million North Koreans as mere bystanders in history, Smith argues
that North Koreans are 'neither victims nor villains' but active
agents of their own destiny.
