Rezensionen

Ryang takes us deep into diasporic vulnerability through a beautifully interlaced narrative that links historical and political circumstances with the personal experiences of Korean women. Her dazzling insights force us to acknowledge the astonishing complexity of human displacement and to radically restructure our understanding of human rights, citizenship, and homeland identity. -- Laura Miller, Loyola University Chicago
