Having spent centuries in the shadows of its neighbors China and Japan, Korea is
now the object of considerable interest for radically different reasons-the
South as an economic success story and for its vibrant popular culture; the
North as the home to one of the world's most repressive regimes, at once both
bizarre and menacing.
Korea: A Very Short Introduction explores the history, culture, and society of a
deeply divided region. Michael Seth considers what it means to be Korean, and
analyzes how the various peoples of the Korean peninsula became one of the
world's most homogeneous nations, before exploring how this nation evolved, in a
single lifetime, into today's sharply contrasting societies. He also discusses
how Korea fits into the larger narrative of both East Asian and world history,
economically, politically, and socially.
