This edited volume brings together a set of essays exploring the
global dimensions of Korea's recent history and politics by a group
of the most talented young scholars. Essays in the volume seek to
answer two interrelated questions: How have international
developments impacted Korea? And how has Korea in turn influenced
world events and trends? The volume demonstrates that the most
important issues in Korea's post World War II history-division,
war, economic development, and inter-Korean rivalry-cannot be
understood without reference to the country's global interactions.
Essays in the volume cover a range of topics including: U.S.-South
Korean relations, North Korean foreign policy, immigration, and
democratization. The essays included in the volume push the
boundaries of several different subfields. Historical essays break
new ground by introducing new archival materials and revealing
important details about the past diplomacy of the two Korea's.
Others consider aspects of American influence on Korea that have
previously been ignored such as the U.S. impact on urban
development and food consumption. Essays on contemporary Korean
politics and society make sense of most recent developments in
North and South Korea while presenting intriguing new interpretive
frameworks. By bringing new voices in Korean Studies to the
forefront, this volume changes how we understand and
reconceptualize Korea's role in the world.
This book deploys and develops the notion of voice in an
investigation of China's rapidly reshuffling society. The book is
structured around two aspects of the voicing process in
contemporary China: (1) stratification of voice, which addresses
the stabilizing condition of voice; and (2) restratification of
voice that draws attention to the dynamics of the system of which
the order is reshuffling and not yet apparent. This structure
allows us to unveil the hidden forces played out in the voice
making process and to stratifying and re-stratifying process of
contemporary Chinese society in which some people are making
themselves heard whereas others are losing voice. Despite its
importance and usefulness, voice has been under theorized in recent
decades. The ambitions of this book therefore are to invest serious
efforts in developing the notion and to position it in the center
of the theoretical toolkits available to students and scholars
within and outside sociolinguistics.
