{"product_id":"dangerous-women-elaine-h-kim-9780415915069","title":"Dangerous Women: Gender and Korean Nationalism","description":"\u003cem\u003eDangerous Women\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the themes of Korean nationalism and gender construction, as well as various issues related to the colonialization and decolonialization of the Korean nation. The contributors explore the troubled category of \"woman,\" placing it in the specific context of a marginalized and colonized nation. But Korean women are not merely configured here as metaphors for an emasculated and infantilized \"homeland;\" they are also shown to be products of a problematic gender construction that originates in Korea, and extends even today to Korean communities beyond Asia. Representations of Korean women still attempt to confine them to the status of either mother or prostitute: \u003cem\u003eDangerous Women \u003c\/em\u003e rectifies that construction, offering a feminist intervention that might recuperate womanhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine H.
