Instead of using an external and purely contemporary standard, the authors work from within Korean history, treating the successive phases of Korea's modern century to examine the uneasy fate of human rights and some of the ideas of human rights as they have developed in the Korean context.

I enjoyed William Shaw's article on the equalization movement of the 1920s and Henderson's article on early postwar Korea. Unfortunate that the latter was a bit lazy on the footnotes, citing a lot of statistics I would have loved to have been able to trace down.
