Reviews
"More than anything else, this book is significant because it tries successfully to narrate the meaning of life as a voiceless people have experienced it through their national history."-- Journal of Asian Studies "This book describes the human consequences of the division of the Korean peninsula after World War II in 1945 and the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. Its subjects are men and women who mourn their separation from parents, spouses, and children even as the Korean nation mourns the loss of half itself. Choong Soon Kim . . . returned to the land of his birth trained and tempered by the experience of fieldwork in an exotic culture. He describes this project as 'a descriptive study of a painful situation as seen and felt by an inside participant'. Engagement occurs on several levels. The war was an immediate experience of his own childhood. The subject of the first five stories are his own kin, friends, or friends of friends. Finally, as he frankly, indeed poignantly, acknowledges throughout the work, the disjunction of immigration has engendered an abiding sense of personal loss, a profound empathy for the members of sundered families. . . . Faithful Endurance is a work of great sensitivity, shrewd observation, and intense commitment, a rare combination in the work of ethnography."--Laurel Kendall, American Anthropologist, "More than anything else, this book is significant because it tries successfully to narrate the meaning of life as a voiceless people have experienced it through their national history."- Journal of Asian Studies "This book describes the human consequences of the division of the Korean peninsula after World War II in 1945 and the Korean War from 1950 to 1953.
