<p><font face="tahoma"><b><br></b></font></p>
<p><i><font face="tahoma">. . . Queer Studies is a relatively new but rapidly diversifying field that </font><span style="font-family: tahoma;">offers much to the critically engaged study of Korea and its diasporas.</span></i></p>
<p><i><font face="tahoma">Given its status in the modern world as an Asian, postcolonial, postauthoritarian, </font><span style="font-family: tahoma;">and capitalist/socialist divided society, Korea presents itself </span><span style="font-family: tahoma;">as an instructive site from which to question the US-centered assumptions</span></i></p>
<p><font face="tahoma"><i>that protect Queer Studies from a critical reorientation toward the non-</i></font><span style="font-family: tahoma;"><i>West and the global South. . . </i> from On This Topic</span></p>
