This book explores the history, culture, and society of a deeply divided region. Michael Seth considers what it means to be Korean, and analyses 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 Description based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on January 27, 2020) HTTP:URL=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/actrade/9780198830771.001.0001 Information=Very short introductions
