Kwon Heon-ik: Ghosts of the Vietnam War

The ghost of the Vietnam War was launched by Professor John Hapts, a winner of the Guises Prize. The book, by the Konjin, focuses on the rituals of war ghosts that have been highlighted in Vietnam since the economic reforms, as a distinctive cultural phenomenon since the Cold War, has given rise to the memory, political and religious awareness of the victims of the Vietnam War. The book presents a holistic view on the horizon of a war hero, a ghost that is not a ancestor in a family, but a ghost. Although it is a scholarly book, Professor Kwon Jingk shares the voice of Vietnamese people with a vivid and beautiful style of writing. The Vietnamese stories of mourning the root-based ghosts will stir a lasting impression on the readers of Korean society, whose dramatic order of the Cold War is strong.
