Book Review s 19 7 citiz ens, in a polity that has been promot ing a sense of ''natio nal community" based on Korean ethnic unity? How can victims' vari ed eff or ts to overcome such traum atic experiences be acknowledged and understood when the state abstracts (redirects) their experience in new grand narrati ves? The "conten tious" issues invested in the Kwa ngju event have spilled over into the po la r ized politics in Korea. Today, it is still possible to hear the echoes of the Kwangj u Up risi ng in the nation 's turbulent po litics -its left-right ideological split, anti-c ommunism, dictatorship and resistance, regional imbalances, and presence of for eign forces----as well as in more personal memories expressed in the pages of a diary.
