Publisher: Stanford University Press


While popular trends, cuisine, and long-standing political tension have made Korea familiar in some ways to a vast English-speaking world, its recorded history of some two millennia remains unfamiliar to most.

Korea: A History is a comprehensive guide for general readers, offering an up-to-date and accessible overview of Korean history from antiquity to the present. Written by Eugene Y. Park, the book draws on original-language sources and the latest synthesis of East Asian and Western-language scholarship to provide an insightful account. This book expands the limited English-language discussions on pre-modern Korea, offering rigorous and compelling analyses of Korea's modernization while discussing daily life, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ history, and North Korean history, which are often overlooked in Korea surveys.

Park is able to break new ground on questions and debates that have been central to the field of Korean studies since its inception.

In conclusion, Korea: A History is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the rich and complex history of Korea. Park's insightful account and comprehensive coverage make it an essential read for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in East Asia and its cultural heritage.
