The Promised Republic offers a bold new history of South Korea’s rapid national development. Drawing on a range of official sources and personal accounts, Russell Burge links the struggles of rural-to-urban migrants living in Seoul’s shantytowns during the 1960s and 1970s and the conflicts over urban access and inequality that endure today.
