Reviews

Beyond the Sewol stands out as one of the ethical responses scholars can offer to the tragedy of the state's utter failure during one of South Korea's most devastating events. It is building an archive of collective memorialization featuring commemorative performances organized by the mothers of the student victims, along with local activists, artists, musicians--including BTS--and members of the Korean diaspora. This book is also a profoundly moving tribute to the resilience of those who continue to fight for the truth about the Sewol tragedy.--Namhee Lee, UCLA
