[KS] Fw: Gwangju Uprising, particularly records of accounts from Americans

[Baker, Donald Leslie]

An account by Charles Huntley can be found at https://themay18.wordpress.com/2005/12/03/when-it-wasnt-fun-the-kwangju-incident-of-may-1980/  Rev. Huntley was a Presbyterian missionary.

His wife Martha published an eyewitness account as well, but I think it appeared in an obscure missionary journal and I can’t find it.

Arnold A. Peterson, another missionary, published a booklet called 5.18: The Kwangju Incident.

The eyewitness testimony of David Dollinger, a Peace Corps Volunteer at the time, can be found at https://themay18.wordpress.com/2005/11/23/eyewitness-testimony-of-david-dolinger/

And Tim Warnberg published his eyewitness account in Korean Studies back in 1987.

And, of course, there is the account by the American anthropologist Linda S. Lewis:   Laying Claim to the Memory of May, from the University of Hawaii Press.


I hope this helps.

Dear Korean Studies list administrator,

Is there a way to search the Archives of past postings?   I recall reading discussions on the Kwangju Uprising in this list  and want to point our student to the postings, but I could not figure out how to search by keywords.  Please help.

Subject: Resources on Honam - Gwangju Uprising, particularly records of accounts from American Missionaries

I am currently preparing a paper on the Gwangju Uprising and the roles that Americans played both documenting the atrocities committed and the aftermath. I have already went through a few sources in the library, but most are from Korean language sources and do not discuss American testimonials or eyewitness accounts. I would like to know if you have any recommendations on resources either at USC or UCLA that might provide accounts from Americans at Gwangju.

Many Thanks,

M.A. Student - University of Southern California
