Description

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.
