Description

This comprehensive retrospective appraisal examines the Gwangju Uprising of 1980, when South Korean citizens took to the streets demanding democracy and refused military suppression. Written by academics, activists and artists from Gwangju, the book documents how people liberated their city for one week, creating what emerged as a "beautiful community" with published newspapers, mass popular assemblies, and transformed civic life. The work offers critical analysis of this pivotal moment in South Korean history and its lasting impact on the nation's democratic development, providing insights from those who lived through and shaped this historic resistance movement.

Key Features

The book features contributions from Gwangju-based academics, activists and artists who directly experienced the 1980 uprising and its aftermath.

Documents the week-long liberated space in Gwangju where citizens established newspapers, held popular assemblies and reimagined community life.

Published by Routledge as part of the New Political Science series, offering scholarly analysis of democracy movements and political transformation.

Provides retrospective appraisal combining historical documentation with first-hand accounts from participants in the Gwangju Uprising.
