North Korean Culture and Society: Papers from the British Museum/BAKS Study Day 2001 and BAKS Study Day 2002

The publication follows on from the establishment of diplomatic relations with the the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and visits there by scholars from the British Museum and British Library. The papers from the two study days provide a unique insight into North Korean culture. North Korea remains little known to the West and these papers will advance our knowledge and understanding. The book is fully illustrated in colour throughout, together with maps and tables. It will be of interest to all those interested in East Asia, in cultural, library and museum studies, and in the politics of détente.
