Editor’s Introduction
Editor's Introduction
There is no shortage of references of late to unprecedented events, whether in terms of political crises or climate disasters.Yet equally forceful is the way that such alarms are couched as iterations of precedents, more immediately with the resurgence of global fascisms, and more distantly with debates over what to call the current geological epoch.What is at the root of this temporality that seems to be at once a return of the familiar and yet …

From the First Thirty to the Next Thirty Years of positions
After thirty years at the helm of positions, founding editor Tani Barlow steps down, and Suzy Kim takes the wheel as editor. Like the rest of the journal's work, the transition has been animated by mutual mentorship and collective responsibility to continue the journal's remarkable journey. Among our many topics of conversation, we include reflections on the first three decades and futures ahead.Suzy Kim: In the twenty-year anniversary interview …
Heroes and Toilers
At its core this is a book about industrial work, in which North Korea serves as an example. As stated at the outset, the central questions of this study are “What does it mean to work? What does it mean to be a labor hero?” and “How is the state or the nation tied to the activity of work?” (2). Situating North Korean industrial work alongside other examples—capitalist and socialist—throughout the world, Heroes and Toilers promises to fill a gap …

Cold War Feminisms in East Asia
From Violated Girl to Revolutionary Woman
Feminism, both as theory and praxis, has long grappled with the dilemma of sex difference—whether to celebrate women’s “difference” from men as offering a more emancipatory potential or to challenge those differences as man-made in the process of delineating modern sexed subjects. While this debate may be familiar within contemporary feminist discourses, communist feminisms that stretched across the Cold War divide were no less conflicted about w…
The Origins of Cold War Feminism During the Korean War
Everyday Life in the North Korean Revolution, 1945–1950
During the founding of North Korea, competing visions of an ideal modern state proliferated. Independence and democracy were touted by all, but plans for the future of North Korea differed in their ideas about how everyday life should be organized. Daily life came under scrutiny as the primary arena for social change in public and private life. In Everyday Life in the North Korean Revolution, 1945–1950 , Kim examines the revolutionary events that…
Suk-Young Kim. DMZ Crossing
The demilitarized zone (DMZ) that has separated the two Koreas since the end of the Korean War (1950–1953) is a 2-mile wide, 155-mile long strip of land that stands as a “monument to stalemate” (pp. 6–7). Although environmentalists have proposed turning the zone into a nature preserve for its biodiversity, as Suk-Young Kim points out, doing so could also preserve the very border over which a deadly civil war was fought, along with its attendant w…
Crossing Borders
On May 24, 2015, thirty women peacemakers from fifteen nations, including American feminist activist Gloria Steinem and two Nobel Peace laureates, Mairead Maguire from Northern Ireland and Leymah Gbowee from Liberia, walked with Korean women of the North and South to call for an end to the Korean War and the peaceful reunification of Korea on the seventieth anniversary of its division. The arbitrary division of the peninsula in 1945 by the United…
Marriage, family, and sexuality in North Korea
Japan was defeated at the end of the Pacific War on 15 August 1945, terminating its 35-year rule over Korea. The United States proposed to divide the Korean peninsula at the 38th parallel into two separate occupation zones – the United States in the south and the Soviet Union in the north – to disarm the Japanese troops while preparing a provisional government in Korea. North Korea has held the family to be the basic unit of society and people we…
Understanding North Korea
Back in 2008, a small but significant piece of news circulated in South Korea about a magazine "secretly published by North Korean journalists" as one headline read. This was hardly covered in the Western media, but it seems the news has finally reached across the Pacific with the publication of the magazine's first English edition in October 2010. On the evening of October 18, 2010 Ishimaru Jiro - editor and publisher of Rimjin-gang magazine - w…
Revolutionary Mothers
Women today are struggling with all their passion and all their strength day and night for the creation of a new history of a democratic country. Today in the streets, men, women, the old, the young, everyone stops to listen to the women.---Nam Hyǒn-sǒ, 'Women of a New Country,' January 1947In Korea from ancient times, the master of the home was thought to refer to the husband ... we now realize that the master of the home must be the woman, that…
Hardliners Target Detente with North Korea
The Bush administration's approach to North Korea was once quite consistent with its overall foreign policy. There was name calling, a preference for regime change and an emphasis on military solutions. Unsurprisingly, the relationship between the United States and North Korea, like so many other tense standoffs, deteriorated over the last seven years. The U.S. accused the third member of the "axis of evil" of money-laundering, missile sales and …
