reviewed Getting Married in Korea: Of Gender, Morality, and Modernity on June 12, 2008
Getting Married in Korea
This book takes a lot of flak because of its style, which I would describe as deliberate. That is regrettable, because the book is quite informative, and actually very interesting. A New History of Korea was written by a serious historian for people who are prepared to take it seriously. If you're looking for a survey history of Korea, I'd suggest wikipedia. If you want a detailed account of the development of society, culture, and politics on the Korean peninsula - then Ki-Baik Lee is your man and this is your book.
If you think you can handle it.
