Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study on 'Humanities for Unification' started to find a new paradigm for unification under the reality of separated nation. Existing discussions about unification is conducting based on the premise of systematic, politic, and economic integration, and the reality is that it actually is fluctuating by the times. Humanities for Unification agreed on that the social-scientific discussion on unification has political and ideological limitations. Therefore, the Humanities for Unification can be a new field of study trying to identify unification issue in Korean peninsula and to find solutions for the issue based on people-centered idea of humanism. Human-centered discussion on unification can be understood as a concept largely expanded from the existing discussion on the issue. That is, the concept is not limited in Korean peninsula geographically but to include all Korean Diaspora. Thus, it includes both South and North Koreans as well as 7 millions of Korean people all over the world. Furthermore, it is not just satisfied with research activity only focusing on 'Unification as a result' but to aim at 'Unification as a whole process'. Therefore, the concept aims at not only the point of unification but also pursues integration of people which must be solved in the course of social integration after the unification. Thus, Humanities for Unification suggests 'communication, healing, and integration' as the main methodology. Based on spirit of humanism, it applies communication among social classes as well as individuals as the primary method. This kind of communication is possible by accepting difference between you and I and exploring common factors in the difference and by utilizing those factors. To do that, we need to identify reality of division trauma and to find out solutions to cure it. First of all, we can cure the division trauma that can be a cause of confliction between people by taking division narrative, which is hidden in the history, in which we gave unforgettable wound each other, out to the world and by suggesting combined narrative as a solution. And by intergrating systems and ideologies settled down in our society and by managing common things and differences in ideology, emotion and in living that lie in our everyday life, we hope that the integration of life can be expanded to social integration.

Book excerpt: Written for a young audience, this intense memoir explores the harsh realities of life on the streets in contemporary North Korea. Every Falling Star is the memoir of Sungju Lee, who at the age of twelve was forced to live on the streets of North Korea and fend for himself. To survive, Sungju creates a gang and lives by thieving, fighting, begging, and stealing rides on cargo trains. Sungju richly recreates his scabrous story, depicting what it was like for a boy alone to create a new family with his gang, “his brothers,” to daily be hungry and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution. This riveting memoir allows young readers to learn about other cultures where freedoms they take for granted do not exist.

While filming, they were apprehended by North Korean soldiers, charged with "hostile acts," and imprisoned. Following months of interrogation, the women were tried before North Korea's highest court and sentenced to twelve years of hard labor. Laura's sister, journalist Lisa Ling, immediately began a campaign to get her sister released - a campaign that led her to the highest echelons of the media world and U.S. government. Somewhere Inside is Laura’s gripping account of the deprivation and harrowing interrogation she endured, its emotional toll, and the fear that she might never see her family again. Told in the sisters' alternating voices, Somewhere Inside is an inspiring tale of survival set against a canvas of international politics. It is also a window into the unique bond these two sisters have always shared - a bond that sustained them throughout the most horrifying ordeal of their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outside world calls North Korea a “military society” as it imposes militaristic totalitarianism on its people. A prime example of such military structures is the local people’s neighborhood unit system, which places greater focus on keeping an eye on the people than on bringing greater convenience to their everyday lives. With a growing number of people deserting state institutions after the Arduous March, Pyongyang has been trying to control North Koreans by further reinforcing the neighborhood unit system as it now is harder to control them through their respective workplaces. The local people’s neighborhood unit system in the North is comprised of two key elements: the heads of the people’s neighborhood units and householder units. The former serves as the watchdog of all residents in a given building; the latter controls and watches the husbands only. CHAPTER 1: Life in North Korea 1. Local people’s neighborhood unit system in North Korea 2. North Korea’s unequal structure reflected in the distribution system 3. Rampant class-based discrimination 4.

Three obstacles facing Kim Jong-un’s succession of power
Book Synopsis Marching Through Suffering by : Sandra Fahy
Download or read book Marching Through Suffering written by Sandra Fahy and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marching Through Suffering is a deeply personal portrait of the ravages of famine and totalitarian politics in modern North Korea since the 1990s. Featuring interviews with more than thirty North Koreans who defected to Seoul and Tokyo, the book explores the subjective experience of the nation's famine and its citizens' social and psychological strategies for coping with the regime. These oral testimonies show how ordinary North Koreans, from farmers and soldiers to students and diplomats, framed the mounting struggles and deaths surrounding them as the famine progressed. Following the development of the disaster, North Koreans deployed complex discursive strategies to rationalize the horror and hardship in their lives, practices that maintained citizens' loyalty to the regime during the famine and continue to sustain its rule today. Casting North Koreans as a diverse people with a vast capacity for adaptation rather than as a monolithic entity passively enduring oppression, Marching Through Suffering positions personal history as key to the interpretation of political violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea’s human rights violations are unparalleled in the contemporary world. In Dying for Rights, Sandra Fahy provides the definitive account of the abuses committed by the North Korean state, domestically and internationally, from its founding to the present. Dying for Rights scrutinizes North Korea’s treatment of its own people as well as foreign nationals, how violations committed by the state spread into the international realm, and how North Korea uses its state media and presence at the United Nations. Fahy meticulously documents the extent of arbitrary detention, torture, executions, and the network of prison camps throughout the country. The book details systematic and widespread violations of freedom of speech and of movement, freedom from discrimination, and the rights to food and to life. Fahy weaves together public and private testimonies from North Koreans resettled abroad, as well as NGO reports, the stories and facts brought to light by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry into North Korea, and North Korea’s own state media, to share powerful personal narratives of human rights abuses. A compassionate yet objective investigation into the factors that sustain and perpetuate the flouting of basic rights, Dying for Rights reveals the profound culpability of the North Korean state in the systematic denial of human dignity.
Book Synopsis The World Is Bigger Now by : Euna Lee
Download or read book The World Is Bigger Now written by Euna Lee and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-09-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Euna Lee—the young wife, mother, and film editor detained in North Korea—tells a harrowing, but ultimately inspiring, story of survival and faith in one of the most isolated parts of the world. On March 17, 2009, Lee and her Current TV colleague Laura Ling were working on a documentary about the desperate lives of North Koreans fleeing their homeland for a chance at freedom when they were violently apprehended by North Korean soldiers. For nearly five months they remained detained while friends and family in the United States were given little information about their status or conditions. For Lee, detention would prove especially harrowing. Imprisoned just 112 miles from where she was born and where her parents still live in Seoul, South Korea, she was branded as a betrayer of her Korean blood by her North Korean captors. After representing herself in her trial before North Korea’s highest court, she received a sentence of twelve years of hard labor in the country’s notorious prison camps, leading her to fear she might not ever see her husband and daughter again. The World Is Bigger Now draws us deep into Euna Lee’s life before and after this experience: what led to her arrival in North Korea, her efforts to survive the agonizing months of detainment, and how she and her fellow captive, Ling, were finally released thanks to the efforts of many individuals, including Bill Clinton. Lee explains in unforgettable detail what it was like to lose, and then miraculously regain, life as she knew it. The World Is Bigger Now is the story of faith and love and Euna Lee’s personal conviction that God will sustain and protect us, even in our darkest hours.
Download or read book In Order to Live written by Yeonmi Park and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.” - Yeonmi Park "One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." - The Bookseller “Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again.” —Publishers Weekly In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea—and to freedom. Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park’s testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.
Book Synopsis Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader by : Bradley K. Martin
Download or read book Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader written by Bradley K. Martin and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader offers in-depth portraits of North Korea's two ruthless and bizarrely Orwellian leaders, Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il. Lifting North Korea's curtain of self-imposed isolation, this book will take readers inside a society, that to a Westerner, will appear to be from another planet. Subsisting on a diet short on food grains and long on lies, North Koreans have been indoctrinated from birth to follow unquestioningly a father-son team of megalomaniacs. To North Koreans, the Kims are more than just leaders. Kim Il-Sung is the country's leading novelist, philosopher, historian, educator, designer, literary critic, architect, general, farmer, and ping-pong trainer. Radios are made so they can only be tuned to the official state frequency. "Newspapers" are filled with endless columns of Kim speeches and propaganda. And instead of Christmas, North Koreans celebrate Kim's birthday--and he presents each child a present, just like Santa. The regime that the Kim Dynasty has built remains technically at war with the United States nearly a half century after the armistice that halted actual fighting in the Korean War. This fascinating and complete history takes full advantage of a great deal of source material that has only recently become available (some from archives in Moscow and Beijing), and brings the reader up to the tensions of the current day. For as this book will explain, North Korea appears more and more to be the greatest threat among the Axis of Evil countries--with some defector testimony warning that Kim Jong-Il has enough chemical weapons to wipe out the entire population of South Korea.
