Produktbeschreibung
The divided families problem is a serious social issue in North and South Korea, involving hundreds of thousands of first generation divided family members, most of whom have not seen their relatives since the Korean War. It is the most pressing humanitarian issue between the two Koreas, and is connected to the greater issue of human rights in North Korea today. However, little serious academic work exists on the subject, in either English or Korean. This new study, based on research conducted in Korea, including interviews in 2001 with Korean families who benefited from the most recent exchanges, addresses the many issues surrounding the divided family problem, and highlights its importance in the path towards Korean rapprochement.
Autorenporträt
James Foley has a passion for weaving intricate tales of suspense and intrigue. After trading a successful career in business for life on a barrier island working with sick and injured sea turtles, James found the inspiration for Treasure Coast when packages of illegal narcotics washed up on a local beach. James currently resides in San Diego, California, with his wife, Suzanne, and their dog, Marley, where he has discovered the joys of tequila and live music at large venues but has yet to embrace the "icy" Pacific. He loves to explore the world, hoping to touch down in Africa next. Follow him at james-foley.com.
