[KS] book search for teaching

[McCann, David]

I'd mention also the book War and Democracy: A Comparative Study of the Korean War and the Peloponnesian War, M. E. Sharpe, 2001, a collection of articles comparing the Peloponnesian War and the Korean War in terms of their impacts on the respective democratic cultures they were located in or from.

The book came from a conference at the Woodrow Wilson Center the course I co-taught with Barry Strauss at Cornell.

Mike,

Look at the Asia Publishers three new collections of very short stories, bilingual, and with author bios and critical response. These collections are themed, and one of the themes is the war, with excellent stories like “The Suffering of Two Generations” and “Land of Excrement” in the war theme. Another of the themes is the post-war reality, which some responses here have tossed in...

Here is set two on Amazon (I’m not sure it is the set with the war stories, but I’m in a hurry^^).

The works can be bought in the set, or individually...





Dear Colleagues:



I’m teaching a course in the spring term on “The Cross Cultural Experiences of War” which deals with US wars in Asia.WW II, Korean War, and Vietnam.



I’m using fiction in part to get students to think about how these wars have affected our attitudes and relations with East Asia.   I am using Heinz Insu Fenkl’s  wonderful “Memories of My Ghost Bother” to cover Korean War aftermaths..but I was wondering if there is some new translation collections from Korean of short stories centered around the War that I might use as well.



Happy Holidays,



Mike Robinson
