Multimedia; Reference links (2012 workshop, NCKS)
from supplied PDF at the Nam Center for Korean Studies 2012 teacher workshop 25 Aug. in Ann Arbor
More links are at the NCKS website, Educational Resources k-14
A concise table for comparing both parts of the peninsula is available from NCKS in PDF, too. Its preamble reads, An independent Korean state or collection of states has existed almost continuously for several millennia. Between its initial unification in the 7th century - from three predecessor Korean states - until the 20th century, Korea existed as a single country. After World War II, a democratic-based government (Republic of Korea, ROK) was set up in the southern half of the Korean Peninsula while a Communist-style government was installed in the north (the DPRK). During the Korean War (1950-53), US troops and UN forces fought alongside soldiers from the ROK to defend South Korea from DPRK attacks supported by China and the Soviet Union. An armistice was signed in 1953, splitting the peninsula along a demilitarized zone at about the 38th parallel.

new book - social uprisings
Volume 1 Asia's Unknown Uprisings: South Korean Social Movements in the 20th Century.
PM Press, Oakland, CA.
Using social movements as a prism to illuminate the oft-hidden history of
20th century Korea, this book provides detailed analysis of major
uprisings that have patterned that country?s politics and society. With a
central focus on the1980 Gwangju Uprising that ultimately proved decisive
in South Korea?s democratization, the author uses Korean experiences as a
baseboard to extrapolate into the possibilities of global social movements
in the 21st century. Ten years in the making, this book provides a unique
perspective on South Korea. It is the first volume in a two-part study
that concludes by analyzing in rich detail uprisings in nine other places:
the Philippines, Burma, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand
and Indonesia.
illustrated, with tables, charts, graphs, index and footnotes Approximately 420 pages with about 77 photographs and wood block prints by Hong Sung-dam
