Culture and Customs of Korea (Cultures and Customs of the World)

For centuries, although strongly influenced by the Chinese, Koreans have maintained a unique civilization with their own language, social organization, food, national costume, political institutions, and customs. The disruptions of the 20th century have included a long and difficult period of foreign rule and a devastating civil war. However, Koreans continue to prize their traditional culture, and the younger generations have embraced Koreanness with a determination to assert Korea's place in the world. Culture and Customs of Korea artfully depicts the past and present in North and South Korea with chapters on the story of the Korean people, thought and religion, arts and literature, performing arts, daily life and folkways, life in a Korean village, life in urban Korean, and gender, marriage, and the lives of Korean women. A chronology and glossary supplement the text.

The Koreans: Contemporary Politics And Society, Third Edition

In this new edition, Donald Clark has thoroughly revised and updated Donald Macdonald's widely praised introduction to Korea, describing and assessing the volatile and dramatic developments on the peninsula over the last five years. Remaining true to Macdonald's original conception, Clark has reworked the existing text from the perspective of the mid-1990s to take account of the enormous political and economic changes in South Korea, the evolving relationship between North and South, and the implications of North Korea's leadership transition and nuclear capability.

Macdonald, Donald S.

In this revised edition of his survey, Donald Macdonald examines East Asia's fastest-developing but least-understood nation. He has updated his analysis of Korean politics and society to explain the dramatic South Korean political developments of the past two years. He has also expanded the treatment of North Korea. Assessing Korea's unique position in the developing world, its importance to the United States, and the Korean national character, Macdonald charts the peninsula's path toward becoming an important strategic and economic player on the world stage.
