Evincing the power of translation as a poetic device to navigate historical and linguistic borders, it explores Edward Said's notion of \"the intertwined and overlapping histories\" in regards to South Korea and the United States through innovative deployments of voice, story, and poetics. Like its sister book, \u003cem\u003eHardly War\u003c\/em\u003e, it holds history accountable, its very presence a resistance to empire and a hope in humankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596277858540,"sku":"9781940696959","price":58.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9673a83c7899dde864d3e50cc27a996d.jpg?v=1777930674","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/dmz-colony-by-don-mee-choi-9781940696959","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
