Reviews
"""Cho's book is the culmination of 20 years' work and her knowledge of the people and spaces of Hongdae is inspirational. Couple this knowledge with the way she infuses humane sensibilities in her writing, and we have a book that is really a love letter to a place of which she is obviously very fond and also a place which every reader will feel for."" -- Urban Studies Online--Harvey Neo, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore ""Urban Studies Online"" ""The author skillfully examined Hongdae with a wider theoretical framework - Post-Fordist economy and the cultural turn in Asia. This book also probes us to ask some wider questions that are not Korean specific. How should cultural policy be formulated? Should the government sponsor the development of creative industry? How should artists respond to new cultural policies?"" -- International Journal of Cultural Policy"

The author skillfully examined Hongdae with a wider theoretical framework - Post-Fordist economy and the cultural turn in Asia. This book also probes us to ask some wider questions that are not Korean specific. How should cultural policy be formulated? Should the government sponsor the development of creative industry? How should artists respond to new cultural policies? -- International Journal of Cultural Policy Cho's book is the culmination of 20 years' work and her knowledge of the people and spaces of Hongdae is inspirational. Couple this knowledge with the way she infuses humane sensibilities in her writing, and we have a book that is really a love letter to a place of which she is obviously very fond and also a place which every reader will feel for. Given this, the book appeals to a wide spectrum of readers. As the narrative is compelling and the book written in an accessible style, even non-academics will find it of interest. -- Urban Studies
