520 1 $a"This detailed examination of daily life in North Korea, informed by the author's direct experience and the accounts of defectors, and drawn from his columns for the Korea Times and the Asia Times, illuminates a world generally hidden by the extraordinarily secretive government. Topics include the ways in which the political system permeates citizens' daily lives, from the personal status badges they wear to the nationalized distribution of the food they eat; schools; social and family life; transportation; propaganda; spying within and beyond the country's borders; and many others. The closing chapter discusses significant changes that have taken place in North Korea over the last decade, concluding that these changes will lead to the quiet but inevitable death of North Korean Stalinism."--BOOK JACKET.
