The student should obviously start by reading and questioning the official US version contained in the US government's lengthy statement available at http://seoul.usembassy.gov/backgrounder.html
there's a lot there to mull over
then there might be something in
Kwangju Diary: Beyond Death, Beyond the Darkness of the Age
by Lee Jai-eui, translated from the Korean by Kap Su Seol and Nick Mamatas
UCLA Asian Pacific Monograph Series, 172 pp., $14.95 (paper)
(Bruce Cumings has written something there)
The Kwangju Uprising: Eyewitness Press Accounts of Korea?s Tiananmen
edited by Henry Scott-Stokes and Lee Jai-eui, with a foreword by President Kim Dae-jung
M.E. Sharpe, 239 pp., $37.50; $10.95 (paper)
the fullest online bibliography would probably be Matt's:
http://populargusts.blogspot.com/2006/05/bibliography-of-kwangju-uprising-in.html
but it dates from 2006. perhaps ask him if he knows anything more recent,
And there are the publications of the May 18 Memorial Foundation http://eng.518.org/eng/html/main.html?TM18MF=04010000
What else might there be? Lots, I hope
