Description
Korea: A History by Eugene Y. Park offers a comprehensive and balanced overview of Korean history from antiquity to the present day. Drawing on original-language sources and recent scholarship, this English-language history provides an accessible introduction to the region's recorded history, which spans over two millennia. Until now, Korea has been somewhat overlooked in favour of its East Asian neighbours, but Park's book sheds new light on the subject, providing a nuanced analysis of premodern Korea and modernization. The author also explores topics that are often left out of traditional histories, including LGBT, ethnic minority groups, and other underrepresented communities. With this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Korea's complex history and its place in the wider region.
