- Summary:
- Under Construction provides an illuminating portrait of south Koreans in the 1990s -- a decade that saw a return to civilian rule, a loosening of censorship and social control, and the emergence of a full-blown consumer culture. It shows how these changes impacted the lives of Korean men and women and the very definition of what it means to be "male" and "female" in Korea.
- Notes:
- A collection of 7 papers, 5 originally presented at a workshop on "Gender and Social Change in Late Twentieth-Century Korea," held at Columbia University in the spring of 1995 under the sponsorhip of the Center for Korean Research, and revised for this volume.
- Includes bibliographical references and index.
