<div><font face="Times" color="#000000">John Feffer's<i> North
Korea/South Korea: U.S. Policy in a Time of Crisis,</i> hailed as
"the most balanced account of the North Korean 'threat' "
by Japan scholar Chalmers Johnson, is now available from Seven
Stories Press.<br>

As media coverage of this Korean threat grows, scholars are faced
with the challenge of providing an accessible introduction to the
conflict beyond the threat, to the complex and historical
underpinnings of this divided region. "There is no country of
comparable significance concerning which so many people are
ignorant," American anthropologist Cornelius Osgood adroitly
noted about Korea.<i> North Korea/South Korea</i> is a needed
corrective that is in-step with the growing interest in, and study
of, the region itself. Beginning with the present crisis, Feffer
takes a long look back, chronicling the partition of the Peninsula
and creation of the DMZ; U.S. intervention and presence in the
region, historic and present; and the formation of North and South
Korean ethos, as affected by nascent national identities, the varying
influence of Confucianism, and the North's isolationism. Discursively
examining the strategy and motivations of each of the parties to the
current conflict, Feffer concretely suggests tenable and needed
alternatives that address the region's volatility. (See T.O.C
below.)<br>
