North Korea: Socialist Living After War (1953-1965) w/ Andre Schmid

In this fascinating episode Andre Schmid joins to discuss his book “North Korea's Mundane Revolution”. As always on this show, we’re covering something new by talking about the early years of the North Korean revolution in the aftermath of the Korean War which "ended" in 1953. Andre Schmid's research and teaching focus on 19th and 20th century Korea and East Asia, as seen in the broader context of global, comparative history. He is interested in historiography and the uses of public memory, the relation between cultural practices and political economy, gendered social history and popular social movements.
