| Summary |
This book analyzes the period following the Inter-Korean Summit of June 2000, focusing on the emotionally charged meetings among family members who had lost all contact for fifty years on opposite sides of the Korean divide. Focusing on regional geopolitics, social dynamics, watershed political rituals, and family narratives, this book explores the cultural process of moving from enmity to engagement amidst the complex legacies of civil war and the global Cold War. |
