Beschrijving

Bol For decades the North Korean regime has preached a virulent race-nationalism to its own people. At the same time, however, it has succeeded in making outsiders believe that it is guided by a solipsistic, inward-directed ideology of self-reliant communism. This in turn has nurtured the wishful assumption that the regime no longer has serious designs on South Korea. In this book, his follow-up to The Cleanest Race (2009), B.R. Myers shows that although the myth of Juche has done great service for the regime at home and abroad, the ideology’s content has never played a significant role in policy-making or domestic propaganda. The North Korean nuclear program must be grasped in the context of the regime’s true ideological commitment, which is not to self-reliance, but to “final victory” over the rival state.
