The author contends here that Kim Jong-un's consolidation of power at home and the leveraging of Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Washington, and others abroad show that he is not a madman and has consistently been underestimated.

Korea is one of the last divided countries in the world. Twins born of the Cold War, one is vilified as an isolated, impoverished, time-warped state with an abysmal human rights record and a reclusive leader who perennially threatens global security with his clandestine nuclear weapons program. The other is lauded as a thriving democratic and capitalist state with the thirteenth largest economy in the world and a model that developing countries should emulate. In The Koreas, Theodore Jun Yoo provides a compelling gateway to understanding the divergent developments of contemporary North and South Korea. In contrast to standard histories, Yoo examines the unique qualities of the Korean diaspora experience, which has challenged the master narratives of national culture, homogeneity, belongingness, and identity. This book draws from the latest research to present a decidedly demythologized history, with chapters focusing on feature stories that capture the key issues of the day as they affect popular culture and everyday life. The Koreas will be indispensable to any historian, armchair or otherwise, in need of a discerning and reliable guide to the region.

Whitewashing the Movies addresses the popular practice of excluding Asian actors from playing Asian characters in film. Media activists and critics have denounced contemporary decisions to cast White actors to play Asians and Asian Americans in movies such as Ghost in the Shell and Aloha. The purpose of this book is to apply the concept of “whitewashing” in stories that privilege White identities at the expense of Asian/American stories and characters. To understand whitewashing across various contexts, the book analyzes films produced in Hollywood, Asian American independent production, and US-China co-productions. Through the analysis, the book examines the ways in which whitewashing matters in the project of Whiteness and White racial hegemony. The book contributes to contemporary understanding of mediated representations of race by theorizing whitewashing, contributing to studies of Whiteness in media studies, and producing a counter-imagination of Asian/American representation in Asian-centered stories.

In 2017, the world watched as President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un traded personal insults and escalating threats of nuclear war amid unprecedented shows of military force. Former Pentagon insider and Korean security expert Van Jackson traces the origins of the first American nuclear crisis in the post-Cold War era, and explains the fragile, highly unpredictable way that it ended. Grounded in security studies and informed analysis of the US response to North Korea's increasing nuclear threat, Trump's aggressive rhetoric is analysed in the context of prior US policy failures, the geopolitics of East Asia, North Korean strategic culture and the acceleration of its nuclear programme. Jackson argues that the Trump administration's policy of 'maximum pressure' brought the world much closer to inadvertent nuclear war than many realise - and charts a course for the prevention of future conflicts.

En succédant en décembre 2011 à son père Kim Jong-il, qui avait pris la suite de son père Kim Il-sung en juillet 1994, Kim Jong-un, le nouveau maître de Pyongyang, a confirmé que la République démocratique et populaire de Corée était plus que jamais la première monarchie absolue communiste de l'histoire. Une contradiction aussi absurde aurait de quoi fasciner si la Corée du Nord ne s'avérait un des régimes les plus impitoyables et dangereux de la planète. L'ordre règne sans doute à Pyongyang, mais grâce à un pouvoir concentrationnaire qui n'a pas hésité à affamer le peuple coréen pour se doter de l'arme atomique.Première biographie croisée des trois Kim qui ont imposé sans partage leurs volontés et leurs caprices à la Corée du Nord depuis trois quarts de siècle, ce livre, nourri aux meilleures sources internationales, donne à comprendre l'évolution d'un gouvernement unique dans l'histoire, entre violences endémiques, idéaux dévoyés, nationalisme exacerbé, absolutisme frénétique, culte du chef et terreur généralisée. Car la dynastie rouge n'est ni une aberration politique, ni une chimère coréenne, ni une métastase stalinienne, mais la mue cohérente d'un régime meurtrier et opportuniste, prêt à tout pour se maintenir au pouvoir.

In this historically grounded, richly empirical study of social and economic transformation in North Korea, Hazel Smith evaluates the 'marketization from below' that followed the devastating famine of the early 1990s, estimated to be the cause of nearly one million fatalities. Smith shows how the end of the Cold War in Europe and the famine brought radical social change to all of North Korean society. This major new study analyses how marketization transformed the interests, expectations and values of the entire society, including Party members, the military, women and men, the young and the elderly. Smith shows how the daily life of North Koreans has become alienated from the daily pronouncements of the North Korean government. Challenging stereotypes of twenty-five million North Koreans as mere bystanders in history, Smith argues that North Koreans are 'neither victims nor villains' but active agents of their own destiny.
