Reviews

""Examining South Korean history since 1945, Service Economies highlights the role of sexualized and gendered working-class labor as an occluded but crucial part of South Korean modernization. A truly interdisciplinary project, Jin-Kyung Lee’s ambitious, rigorous, and synthetic work intervenes into historical, political economic, and cultural studies scholarship on South Korea, transnational labor, gender and sexuality, and U.S. neo-colonialism."" -Grace Hong, UCLA
