Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive totalitarian regime today--an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, where displays of affection are punished, informants are rewarded, and an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. Demick takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors, and through meticulous and sensitive reporting we see her subjects fall in love, raise families, nuture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we witness their profound, life-altering disillusionment with the government and their realization that, rather than providing them with lives of abundance, their country has betrayed them."--Back cover 650 0 $a Koreans $z Korea (North) $x Social conditions $y 21st century $v Case studies 650 0 $a Koreans $z Korea (North) $x Economic conditions $y 21st century $v Case studies 651 0 $a Korea (North) $x Social conditions $y 21st century 651 0 $a Korea (North) $x Economic conditions $y 21st century 653 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-319) 941 $a 1 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20181205011932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82F9AA54F85B11E886998A0397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
