Dangerous Women: Gender and Korean Nationalism Paperback - 1997

by Elaine H. Kim (Editor); Chungmoo Choi (Editor)


From the publisher

Dangerous Women addresses the themes of Korean nationalism and gender construction, as well as various issues related to the colonialization and decolonialization of the Korean nation. The contributors explore the troubled category of "woman," placing it in the specific context of a marginalized and colonized nation. But Korean women are not merely configured here as metaphors for an emasculated and infantilized "homeland;" they are also shown to be products of a problematic gender construction that originates in Korea, and extends even today to Korean communities beyond Asia. Representations of Korean women still attempt to confine them to the status of either mother or prostitute: Dangerous Women rectifies that construction, offering a feminist intervention that might recuperate womanhood.

First line

Driving on the Pacific Highway one glorious afternoon, I spotted, in the rear view mirror, a military vehicle being driven by a young soldier in a khaki uniform.

From the rear cover

'Dangerous Women' enriches and diversifies the critique of colonial discourse by Discussing and analyzing post- colonial challenges Korean and diasporic Korean women have faced and continue to face within the context of multiple gendered colonialisms and their legacies in Korea.
