The Making of Minjung captures the movement in its many dimensions, presenting its intellectual trajectory as a discourse and its impact as a political movement, as well as raising questions about how intellectuals represented the minjung. Lee's portrait is based on a wide range of sources: underground pamphlets, diaries, court documents, contemporary newspaper reports, and interviews with participants. Thousands of students and intellectuals left universities during this period and became factory workers, forging an intellectual-labor alliance perhaps unique in world history. At the same time, minjung cultural activists reinvigorated traditional folk theater, created a new "minjung literature," and influenced religious practices and academic disciplines. In its transformative scope, the minjung phenomenon is comparable to better-known contemporaneous movements in South Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Understanding the minjung movement is essential to understanding South Korea's recent resistance to U.S. influence. Along with its well-known economic transformation, South Korea has also had a profound social and political transformation. The minjung movement drove this transformation, and this book tells its story comprehensively and critically. 606 $aPolitical participation$zKorea (South)$xHistory 606 $aPolitical culture$zKorea (South)$xHistory 606 $aSocial movements$zKorea (South)$xHistory 606 $aStudent movements$zKorea (South)$xHistory 606 $aDemocratization$zKorea (South)$xHistory 607 $aKorea (South)$xPolitics and government$y1960-1988 615 0$aPolitical participation$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory. 615 0$aStudent movements$xHistory. 615 0$aDemocratization$xHistory. 676 $a320.95195 700 $aLee$b Namhee$01098159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781208303321 996 $aThe making of minjung$93691595 997 $aUNINA
