Publisher Description: In A Genealogy of Dissent, Eugene Y. Park tells the story of the survival of the descendants of the Koryŏ dynasty through a devastating extermination campaign, conducted by the succeeding Chosŏn dynasty, and the subsequent rehabilitation of the survivors. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, interviews, and site visits, Park presents a detailed map of the changing politics and society of early modern Korea-an invaluable resource to scholars and advanced students of Korean history. |
