Summary "Following his prizewinning studies of the Vietnam War, renowned anthropologist Heonik Kwon presents this groundbreaking study of the Korean War's enduring legacies seen through the realm of intimate human experience. Kwon boldly reclaims kinship as a vital category in historical and political enquiry and probes the grey zone between the modern and the traditional (and between the civil and the social) in the lived reality of Korea's civil war and the Cold War more broadly.
