Description

About the author

Sonia Ryang is T. T. and W. F. Chao Professor of Asian Studies at Rice University.

Summary

Offers new ways to think about North Korea and how truth emerges over decades from within a dominant discourse. It explores four discrete yet mutually related domains of discourse: the literary purge of the 1950s-1960s; state-initiated linguistic reforms of the 1960s-1980s; stories from a people's chronicle; and the memoirs of the Great Leader.
