In pursuit of rapid industrial growth, the North Korean state stressed order and consistency in everyday life, at both work and home. In Heroes and Toilers, Cheehyung Harrison Kim offers an unprecedented account of life and labor in postwar North Korea that looks at both governance and popular resistance. Kim traces the state's pursuit of progress through industrialism and examines how ordinary people challenged the state every step of the way. More than coercion or violence, he argues, work was crucial to state control. Industrial labor was both mode of production and mode of governance, characterized by repetitive work, mass mobilization, labor heroes, and the insistence on convergence between living and working. At the same time, workers challenged and reconfigured state power to accommodate their circumstances - coming late to work, switching jobs, fighting with bosses, and profiting from the black market, as well as following approved paths to secure their livelihood, resolve conflict, and find happiness. Heroes and Toilers is a groundbreaking analysis of postwar North Korea that avoids the pitfalls of exoticism and exceptionalism to offer a new answer to the fundamental question of North Korea's historical development. 650 0 $a Work $x History $z Korea (North) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Korea (North) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Industrial organization $z Korea (North) 650 0 $a Industrial management $z Korea (North) 650 7 $a Work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180188 651 7 $a Korea (North) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01214151 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kim, Cheehyung Harrison. $t Heroes and toilers. $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2018] $z 9780231546096 $w (DLC) 2018034682 830 0 $a Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191116014404.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905041137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=959540DE0F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
