Folk Art and Magic: Shamanism in Korea

Hollym , 1988. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 216. Also disclosed are the life stories of various individual shamans, the mudang (spirit houses) who invite possession by the gods, so that they may cure disease.

Barbara Demick 55071

Hand in hand in het donker. Leven en liefde in Noord-Korea

J.M. Meulenhoff, 1989. Paperback. Pp: 367. Noord–Korea heeft sinds de val van het communisme het meest totalitaire systeem in de wereld. Als je er de radio aanzet, hoor je alleen maar propaganda, de buren letten op ieder woord dat je zegt en aan de muur hangt verplicht het portret van de dictator. In dit klimaat speelt zich de liefde af tussen Mi–ran en Jun–Sang, die tot mislukken gedoemd is omdat zij uit een "slechte familie" komt, wat inhoudt dat de familie niet loyaal is aan het regime. Hun relatie zou zijn carrière in de weg kunnen staan. Naast deze twee verliefden volgt Demick nog andere personen, onder andere Song Hee–suk, een arbeidster die langzaam van haar communistische geloof valt, Kim Hyunck, een jongen die peren steelt om in leven te blijven en de arts Kim Ji–eun, die met beperkte middelen haar patiënten probeert te helpen. Barbara Demick laat in Hand in hand in het donker zien hoe het is om te leven in een dictatuur. Zij beschrijft de personen vol liefde, waardoor de lezer sympathie en mededogen voor hen zal voelen.

The Impossible State. North Korea, Past and Future

Ecco Pr. Paperback. Pp: 534. "A meaty, fast-paced portrait of North Korean society, economy, politics and foreign policy." -Foreign Affairs The definitive account of North Korea, its veiled past and uncertain future, from the former Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council In The Impossible State, seasoned international-policy expert and lauded scholar Victor Cha pulls back the curtain on this controversial and isolated country, providing the best look yet at North Korea's history, the rise of the Kim family dynasty, and the obsessive personality cult that empowers them. He illuminates the repressive regime's complex economy and culture, its appalling record of human-rights abuses, and its belligerent relationship with the United States, and analyzes the regime's major security issues"from the seemingly endless war with its southern neighbor to its frightening nuclear ambitions"all in light of the destabilizing effects of Kim Jong-il's recent death. How this enigmatic nation-state"one that regularly violates its own citizens' inalienable rights and has suffered famine, global economic sanctions, a collapsed economy, and near total isolation from the rest of the world"has continued to survive has long been a question that preoccupies the West. Cha reveals a land of contradictions, one facing a pivotal and disquieting transition of power from tyrannical father to inexperienced son, and delves into the ideology that leads an oppressed, starving populace to cling so fiercely to its failed leadership. With rare personal anecdotes from the author's time in Pyongyang and his tenure as an adviser in the White House, this engagingly written, authoritative, and highly accessible history offers much-needed answers to the most pressing questions about North Korea and ultimately warns of a regime that might be closer to its end than many might think"a political collapse for which America and its allies may be woefully unprepared.

Julia Leeb, North Korea

teNeues, 2014 Hardback, 360x270mm, 224p, 160 colour illustrations, English/ French/ German edition, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9783832798437.
¶ North Korea certainly wouldn't come first on a general list of dream destinations. Nevertheless, the country exudes an eerie fascination. It is a mystery, an anonymous country isolated from the rest of the world. With two friends, photojournalist Julia Leeb made a journey to better understand the country and its people. The result is a spectacular illustrated volume that offers a riveting look at the architecture, culture, and people. The readers get to immerse themselves in an unknown world. We witness the celebrations for the 100th birthday of the country's founder Kim Il Sung and follow hundreds of North Koreans as they participate in an Arirang synchronized dance spectacle. But even the "quieter" impressions evoke emotion in the viewer.
