Featuring interviews with more than thirty North Koreans who defected to Seoul and Tokyo, the book explores the subjective experience of the nation's famine and its citizens' social and psychological strategies for coping with the regime. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese oral testimonies show how ordinary North Koreans, from farmers and soldiers to students and diplomats, framed the mounting struggles and deaths surrounding them as the famine progressed. Following the development of the disaster, North Koreans deployed complex discursive strategies to rationalize the horror and hardship in their lives, practices that maintained citizens' loyalty to the regime during the famine and continue to sustain its rule today. Casting North Koreans as a diverse people with a vast capacity for adaptation rather than as a monolithic entity passively enduring oppression, \u003ci\u003eMarching Through Suffering\u003c\/i\u003e positions personal history as key to the interpretation of political violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Fahy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231171358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231171359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Sandra Fahy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913491710207,"sku":"9780231171359","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c65f2df8-5da5-46b1-85ba-ab47340ab688.jpg?v=1680620670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marching-through-suffering-sandra-fahy-9780231171359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
