DMZ Colony

Winner of the National Book Award (USA), Don Mee Choi's DMZ Colony explores the history of South Korea and the United States through innovative deployments of voice, story, and poetics.

Winner of the National Book Award

In DMZ Colony’s weave of words, artfully used oral history and typographic experimentation, increasingly words give way to her father’s documentary photos from the time of General Park Chung Hee’s brutal putsch and dictatorship, a regime supported by the USA. DMZ Colony expresses mourning, a resistance to empire, and a hope in humankind.

‘Virtuosic in its range and empathy, this is a book that shifts the reader’s understanding of historical narrative from one of war to one of flight.’ Publishers Weekly, starred review
