My new book is open-access! Now available at the most reasonable price imaginable. Relevant to folks interested in histories of border-making, the environment, Japanese Empire, Korea and China, etc. Many thanks to all who helped make this possible!

"Let's Raise More Dogs!"--a few pics of some very good doggies from a 1960s North Korean magazine. One on the left is from the unique NK "Pungsan" breed, described as "docile to humans but fierce towards its enemies."

A new review essay of unique ambition analyzes my book along with 23(!) others for insights into the nature of late Qing enviro-governance, foregrounding "adaptive resilience" rather than decline. Glad my efforts with Qing docs added to the conversation!

@Ishikawa_FL @UCF_History Congratulations!!!

@DubstepInDPRK And Bruce Cumings is in the NYT arguing in a review of this book that the real omission is Neo-Confucianism and the history of monarchy! Point being, I think you are Cumings are both right. Lots of influences on North Korean ideology and politics, of which Christianity is minor.

[Joseph Seeley @JosephASeeley]

@charleslaughlin I'd be interested in hearing more of your thoughts about what has been happening in recent years (since COVID). My perception is that increased Sinophobia has led to decreased interest in Chinese study (compared to rise of Korean and Japanese pop culture), but maybe I am wrong?

[Joseph Seeley @JosephASeeley]

Newest review of my book and first in a sinological journal. Many thanks to Ruochen Chen at WashU for the kind review. Chen presses me for a little more on Chinese politics of the Yalu border, but also ends review with this lovely bit of writing:

So excited to get a copy of @SayakaChatani (with Kumhee Cho)'s new book. In sheer awe of the amazing research, incl. more than 200 interviews with members of the Zainichi/Chongryon community. I'll be moderating a book talk in June, so please join! https://t.co/b5sGm73oEB
