Content:
Suicide and martyrdom are closely intertwined with social and political processes in historical and contemporary Korea. In this first book-length volume on the evolving ideals of honorable death and martyrdom from the Chosŏn dynasty (1392-1910) to contemporary South Korea, interdisciplinary essays explore the changing ways in which Korean historical agents have considered what constitutes a socio-politically meaningful death and how the surviving community should remember such events--back cover
