CRES 153 A Radical History of the Korean War

Against dominant framings of the Korean War, which left 4 million Koreans dead, as the freeing of the Korean people by the United States from the forces of global communism, this course reconsiders the war, which has never formally ended, from below and to the left, namely, through the lenses of multigenerational people's struggles against fascism and imperialism. Through collaborative, participatory research, students materialize from the ashbin of history what might be called a people's archive of the Korean War.
