By training a literary scholar, he is perhaps best known as an eloquent cultural and political critic. This volume represents the first book-length collection of his writings in English. Paik's distinctive theme is the notion of a \"division system\" on the Korean peninsula, the peculiar geopolitical and cultural logic by which one nation continues to be divided into two states, South and North. Identifying a single structure encompassing both Koreas and placing it within the framework of the contemporary world-system, Paik shows how this reality has insinuated itself into virtually every corner of modern Korean life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47599848095895,"sku":"9780520289888","price":3378.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520289888.webp?v=1775006072","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/division-system-in-crisis-volume-2-9780520289888","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
