Between Dreams and Reality - The Military Examination in Late Choson Korea, 1600-1894

Klappentext this extensive evidence! Park provides a comprehensive sociopolitical history of the "mukwa" system in late Chos?n Korea. Zusammenfassung Park argues that the mukwa—Korea’s state military examination—was not only the primary means of recruiting aristocrats as new members of the military bureaucracy, but also a way for the ruling elite to partially satisfy the status aspirations of marginalized regional elites, secondary status groups, commoners, and manumitted slaves.
