Description

Explore the history of South Korean democracy through this profound retrospective appraisal of the Gwangju Uprising. Published by Routledge as part of the New Political Science series, this book provides a deep look into the events of 1980 when South Koreans fought for democratic rights. While the military threatened brutal suppression of the popular movement across the country, the people of Gwangju refused to submit. This account details how citizens drove the military out of their city and maintained a liberated space for one week. Readers will learn about the emergence of a beautiful community where newspapers were published and hundreds of thousands of people gathered in popular assemblies. This work brings together perspectives from academics, activists, and artists from Gwangju to examine the legacy of this movement. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in world history and the struggle for political freedom.
