I'll post something lengthier in a day or two; the dozen or so posts I've written about the uprising can be found here.
I didn't see an email address here.

Hi - I'm working on a novel connected to Gwangju and the 1980 uprisings; your blog has been a great resource. I'm wondering if you might have any suggestions for further reading - I'm interesting in learning more about the years following the uprising, particularly student activism in the 1980s. You can reach me at ehkim@earthlink.net. Thanks so much.
