Aprašymas
What happens to the people left behind by a revolution? In South Korea, the minjung movement mobilized workers, students, and intellectuals against military dictatorship--but it also produced its own exclusions. Women factory workers, deaf communities, vagrants, female opera performers: their voices were written out of the grand narrative. Yet they did not disappear. Minjung and Its Afterlives traces how these excluded subjects have reclaimed and rewritten cultural narratives from the margins, revealing minjung not as a finished past but as a force that keeps renewing itself in unexpected forms.
