Two Dreams in One Bed - Empire, Social Life, Origins of North Korean Revolution in Manchuria

Informationen zum Autor Hyun Ok Park Klappentext "Original, well written, and ambitious, this volume reframes our understanding of 'the social' in a new way. By emphasizing the ways in which the Korean diaspora served as a mechanism for extending Japanese empire and by attending to various organizations of agricultural production and the everyday signs of difference, Hyun Ok Park develops a deeply social account of historical capitalism that supplements, and challenges, conventional sensibilities of imperialism. Essential for Asian studies, but a critical read for historical sociology."--Michael D.
