Contemplating beyond notions of inherited trauma and post memory, Baik offers the concept of reencounters to better track the Korean War’s illegible entanglements through an interdisciplinary archive of diasporic memory works that includes oral history projects, performances, and video installations rarely examined by Asian American studies scholars. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaik shows how Korean refugee migrations are repackaged into celebrated immigration narratives, how transnational adoptees are reclaimed by the South Korean state as welcomed “returnees,” and how militarized colonial outposts such as Jeju Island are recalibrated into desirable tourist destinations. Baik argues that as the works by Korean and Korean\/American artists depict this Cold War historiography, they also offer opportunities to remember otherwise the continuing war. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, \u003ci\u003eReencounters \u003c\/i\u003ewrestles with questions of the nature of war, racial and sexual violence, and neoliberal surveillance in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52521324216600,"sku":"9781439918999","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/reencounters-on-the-korean-war-and-diasporic-memory-critique-paperback-softback-9781439918999","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
