我是延边朝鲜族,看了颇有感触。 朝鲜族天生就有臭臭的自豪感,在北边那就更厉害了 韩国也是,一般的民众到还行,但是有些狭隘保守的人就特别喜欢 这种感觉。他们感觉很危险,每个人感觉都是随时要爆炸的炸弹。 也特别迷恋洒脱,豪爽,匪气。 当然有那么一点点这种气质是...
评分此文十分背运。写完之后发给一家报纸书评版,编辑都已经安排上版,但是最后一刻被总编拿下,理由是金正日正在访华,话题敏感,时机敏感。 没有办法,我只好等金正日走了之后,重新投稿,发给另外一家报纸的书评编辑,同样,编辑都已经安排上版,但是最终又被总编拿下,还是说...

Understanding North Korea through its propaganda
What do the North Koreans really believe? How do they see themselves and the world around them?
Here B.R. Myers, a North Korea analyst and a contributing editor of The Atlantic , presents the first full-length study of the North Korean worldview. Drawing on extensive research into the regime’s domestic propaganda, including films, romance novels and other artifacts of the personality cult, Myers analyzes each of the country’s official myths in turn—from the notion of Koreans’ unique moral purity, to the myth of an America quaking in terror of “the Iron General.” In a concise but groundbreaking historical section, Myers also traces the origins of this official culture back to the Japanese fascist thought in which North Korea’s first ideologues were schooled.
What emerges is a regime completely unlike the West’s perception of it. This is neither a bastion of Stalinism nor a Confucian patriarchy, but a paranoid nationalist, “military-first” state on the far right of the ideological spectrum.
Since popular support for the North Korean regime now derives almost exclusively from pride in North Korean military might, Pyongyang can neither be cajoled nor bullied into giving up its nuclear program. The implications for US foreign policy—which has hitherto treated North Korea as the last outpost of the Cold War—are as obvious as they are troubling. With North Korea now calling for a “blood reckoning” with the “Yankee jackals,” Myers’s unprecedented analysis could not be more timely.
Ultimately, it's how an American sees the way Koreans see themselves
评分Informative.
评分美国人眼中的朝鲜,比较真实,但不免还有政治偏见。
评分朝鲜一方面以种族主义建立政权存在的必要性,一方面将国民形象刻画为容易受伤的纯粹种族,以证明威权人物的必要性和合法性,这个观点很有趣。关键是,没有看到其他学者对同类资料做 Myers 这样的分析。如果 Myers 有进一步探讨书中一些具体问题的著作也想找来读一下。
