Описание: In the midst of a period that will leave America forever changed, individuals from all walks of life have stood up to help. First responders and medical professionals on the frontlines. Grocery store workers and delivery drivers providing essential services. Americans from coast to coast pulling out sewing machines to make masks. Countless entertainers and athletes who have donated time and money to help those impacted. The Army Corps of Engineers converting hotels and convention centers to hospitals in a matter of days. So many more have made sacrifices. Featuring nearly 100 colour photographs of these heroes and messages of hope from our country, this commemorative book celebrates those who stepped up to serve their communities as Americans faced this great challenge together.

Описание: The son of a nationalist martyr, Kim Tu-han (1918-1972) rose to prominence as a mobster in 1930s Seoul. As conditions shifted, he deployed his gang first as a construction corps supporting the Japanese war effort, then as a progressive force, and, most successfully, as an anti-communist vigilante group. After narrowly escaping the death sentence for murder, he won election as a legislator. Mobrand's intimate exposition of Kim Tu-han's unusual and contradictory life – and of his posthumous cultural and ideological representations – illustrates with distinct clarity how he has become lionised as a ‘folk hero’ and nationalist icon in contemporary Korean culture. Alongside this, Mobrand also explores how this key figure's intricate personal history accentuates both the nexus between street violence and the development of modern political systems in East Asia, and broader themes within postwar Korean history, from the layered meanings of ideological struggle, to mobilisation on the emerging Cold War’s frontline, to ethnic nationalism.
