Kang Jeong-won et al.: North Korean folklore

Since the division of the nation, the folk world and folk culture of North Korea, located in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, have become the subject of new folkloric challenges. Through this book, we hope readers will experience the diverse aspects of North Korean folklore and contemplate, together with the authors, the causes of its changes and persistence. Furthermore, we emphasize once again that research and mutual understanding regarding the folk worlds and folk cultures of South and North Korea are key tasks for achieving unification while overcoming conflict and maintaining peaceful relations.
