Following his prizewinning studies of the Vietnam War, renowned anthropologist Heonik Kwon presents this ground-breaking study of the Korean War's enduring legacies seen through the realm of intimate human experience. Kwon boldly reclaims kinship as a vital category in historical and political enquiry and probes the grey zone between the modern and the traditional (and between the civil and the social) in the lived reality of Korea's civil war and the Cold War more broadly. With captivating historical detail and innovative conceptual frames, Kwon's moving, creative analysis provides fresh insights into the Korean conflict, civil war and reconciliation, history and memory and critical political theory.

'This extraordinary book gives us - finally - the language to touch the heart of the Korean War's fundamental, enduring violence. With kinship in focus as the essential terrain of the political, Kwon completely transforms how we understand mass violence at the intersection between the intimate, the state, and the global. After the Korean War is a work of exquisite and stunning brilliance.' Monica Kim, New York University
