Download or read book Witnessing Gwangju written by Paul Courtright and published by Hollym. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young Peace Corps volunteer, working with leprosy patients in rural South Korea in 1980, Paul Courtright got caught in the middle of a brutal military suppression in Gwangju. Over a span of 13 days, he witnessed the unfolding Gwangju Uprising, during which he was trapped in the city, ringed by the military. The residents of the city rallied to create their own government and militia and Paul and his colleagues translated for a few foreign reporters and photographers who managed to get into Gwangju. Paul’s first attempt to get out, to get to Seoul and inform the US Embassy as to the true nature of events in Gwangju, failed. His second attempt, over the hills to his village and then to Seoul, was successful, but harrowing. This memoir is the first by a foreign witness to the Gwangju Uprising. It is both a clear-eyed record of the events and a reflection of Paul’s emotional journey as the uprising went through its various twists and turns.

Download or read book A Death In Korea written by Steve Crews and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story that is both tragic and bizarre. It’s tragic because a young twenty-two-year-old serviceman, married and with an infant son back home, died in Korea during the Korean War. It’s bizarre because a fellow serviceman with whom he’d been stationed at two different locations was one of the witnesses at the shooting that took his life. Then that witness later married the man’s widow and adopted his son. Even though they had a church wedding, nobody from either family showed up. Very unusual. Exactly twenty years to the day after the young serviceman died in Korea, his twenty-year-old son had a near-death experience in Vietnam. The son grew up not knowing his biological father’s name, his branch of service, how, when, or where he died, or what he looked like, until he was almost fifty-eight years old. Then fate stepped in and provided him with a reason to investigate into the past. What he found out will astound you as much as it did him.

Download or read book More Than Witnesses written by MNG Group and published by Mng Book Group LLC. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efforts and devotion of the missionary community provided democratic activists, including me, a ray of light and a source of hope and courage. The inspiring achievements of these "Foreigners with Hearts of Koreans" have helped lay a firm groundwork in Korea for freedom, peace, and justice to come into full bloom like pretty, tenacious wild flowers. ¬¬- Kim Dae Jung, Former President, Republic of Korea and 2000 Nobel Peace Prize Winner This splendid volume is a collection of stories about Korean Christians and missionaries, a powerful example of contemporary witness to the faith. Knowing many of the authors personally, I was deeply moved by their courage and constancy under such cruel oppression. All who read these accounts cannot but be inspired. - James T. Laney, U.S. Ambassador to Korea 1993 - 1996; President Emeritus of Emory University. As an activist for democracy and as a spouse and sister-in-law of political prisoners, I am personally indebted to the authors of this book, who provided safe breathing spaces for us in the grip of suppression and who kept information pipelines open to the outside world. Their deep involvement in our struggle made them truly "More than witnesses" and shortened the number of years it took to birth our democracy .- Heisoo Shin, author, scholar, teacher, human rights activist, women's rights activist, and member UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). There are times in history when small groups of Christians take seriously the biblical command to "bring good news to the oppressed, and ... release to the prisoners." That was the case with a group of Western missionaries in South Korea in the mid-1970s during the Park Chung Hee dictatorship. More than Witnesses tells the stories, some never before told, of how this courageous group informed the world of what was happening. It is a challenging and humbling account of being faithful in the worst of times, and has important lessons for all of us. - Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners and author of The Great Awakening.

Download or read book Long Road Home written by Yong Kim and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-19 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kim Yong shares his harrowing account of life in a labor camp a singularly despairing form of torture carried out by the secret state. Although it is known that gulags exist in North Korea, little information is available about their organization and conduct, for prisoners rarely escape both incarceration and the country alive. Long Road Home shares the remarkable story of one such survivor, a former military official who spent six years in a gulag and experienced firsthand the brutality of an unconscionable regime. As a lieutenant colonel in the North Korean army, Kim Yong enjoyed unprecedented privilege in a society that closely monitored its citizens. He owned an imported car and drove it freely throughout the country. He also encountered corruption at all levels, whether among party officials or Japanese trade partners, and took note of the illicit benefits that were awarded to some and cruelly denied to others. When accusations of treason stripped Kim Yong of his position, the loose distinction between those who prosper and those who suffer under Kim Jong-il became painfully clear. Kim Yong was thrown into a world of violence and terror, condemned to camp No. 14 in Hamkyeong province, North Korea's most notorious labor camp. As he worked a constant shift 2,400 feet underground, daylight became Kim's new luxury; as the months wore on, he became intimately acquainted with political prisoners, subhuman camp guards, and an apocalyptic famine that killed millions. After years of meticulous planning, and with the help of old friends, Kim escaped and came to the United States via China, Mongolia, and South Korea. Presented here for the first time in its entirety, his story not only testifies to the atrocities being committed behind North Korea's wall of silence but also illuminates the daily struggle to maintain dignity and integrity in the face of unbelievable hardship. Like the work of Solzhenitsyn, this rare portrait tells a story of resilience as it reveals the dark forms of oppression, torture, and ideological terror at work in our world today.

Download or read book Tainted Witness written by Leigh Gilmore and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, Anita Hill's testimony during Clarence Thomas's Senate confirmation hearing brought the problem of sexual harassment to a public audience. Although widely believed by women, Hill was defamed by conservatives and Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. The tainting of Hill and her testimony is part of a larger social history in which women find themselves caught up in a system that refuses to believe what they say. Hill's experience shows how a tainted witness is not who someone is, but what someone can become. Why are women so often considered unreliable witnesses to their own experiences? How are women discredited in legal courts and in courts of public opinion? Why is women's testimony so often mired in controversies fueled by histories of slavery and colonialism? How do new feminist witnesses enter testimonial networks and disrupt doubt? Tainted Witness examines how gender, race, and doubt stick to women witnesses as their testimony circulates in search of an adequate witness. Judgment falls unequally upon women who bear witness, as well-known conflicts about testimonial authority in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries reveal. Women's testimonial accounts demonstrate both the symbolic potency of women's bodies and speech in the public sphere and the relative lack of institutional security and control to which they can lay claim. Each testimonial act follows in the wake of a long and invidious association of race and gender with lying that can be found to this day within legal courts and everyday practices of judgment, defining these locations as willfully unknowing and hostile to complex accounts of harm. Bringing together feminist, literary, and legal frameworks, Leigh Gilmore provides provocative readings of what happens when women's testimony is discredited. She demonstrates how testimony crosses jurisdictions, publics, and the unsteady line between truth and fiction in search of justice.
