- Title
Heroes and Toilers: Work as Life in Postwar North Korea, 1953–1961 by Cheehyung Harrison Kim (review).
- Authors
Seth, Michael J.
- Abstract
Workers also challenged the state by coming to work late, drinking, arguing with bosses, engaging in the black market, all forms of what the author calls "distancing" themselves from state directives (124-25). The author's study focuses on ordinary citizens - in this case, the workers rather than the state and leadership. Kim finds that workers were not passive instruments of state policy but agents in the industrializing process.
