Winner, 2020 Peter C Rollins Prize, given by the Northeast Popular
& American Culture Association Enables a reckoning with the
legacy of the Forgotten War through literary and cinematic works of
cultural memory Though often considered "the forgotten war," lost
between the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War, the
Korean War was, as Daniel Y. Kim argues, a watershed event that
fundamentally reshaped both domestic conceptions of race and the
interracial dimensions of the global empire that the United States
would go on to establish. He uncovers a trail of cultural artefacts
that speaks to the trauma experienced by civilians during the
conflict but also evokes an expansive web of complicity in the
suffering that they endured. Taking up a range of American popular
media from the 1950s, Kim offers a portrait of the Korean War as it
looked to Americans while they were experiencing it in real time.
Kim expands this archive to read a robust host of fiction from US
writers like Susan Choi, Rolando Hinojosa, Toni Morrison, and
Chang-rae Lee, and the Korean author Hwang Sok-yong. The multiple
and ongoing historical trajectories presented in these works
testify to the resurgent afterlife of this event in US cultural
memory, and of its lasting impact on multiple racialized
populations, both within the US and in Korea. The Intimacies of
Conflict offers a robust, multifaceted, and multidisciplinary
analysis of the pivotal-but often unacknowledged-consequences of
the Korean War in both domestic and transnational histories of
race.
