Memory, Reconciliation, And Reunions In South Korea: Crossing The Divide (Asiaworld)

This book analyzes the period following the Inter-Korean Summit of June 2000, focusing on the emotionally charged meetings among family members who had lost all contact for fifty years on opposite sides of the Korean divide.
