Hong Seok-ryul: The Cruel History of Democracy

A history professor, Hong Seok-seong, who was on the scene at 30 years before the June harbor, reinterpreted the journey of democracy from the perspective of the party. The historical possibilities of being sacrificed in Korean modern narratives have been marked by a kind of attempt to weave a story together. It gives a detailed name to the names of modern Korean history and shows the possibility of real and dramatic 'new historical writing' and brings us to a new perspective on eight events in modern history that we should not forget. This book is about people without names, grandmothers, women's workers, urban poor, who have been willing to melt into the many accidents of history, whose lives have not been beyond what it means to be a record of those who have died for democracy. Even though the vivid memories of the site are still alive and the daily daily and related records are piled up in one single piece, you can read Korean modern history as a documentary, as it were, as a drama.
