商品簡介
From the 1950s through the 1980s, South Korea underwent dramatic social, political, economic, and cultural transformations. In this study, Abelmann analyzes the stories of eight middle-aged Korean women whom she interviewed regarding their experiences of social mobility during this turbulent period. Some of the issues discussed include class distinctions within the family and the ways in which women manage their children's education. Abelmann teaches anthropology, East Asian languages, and women's studies at the U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
