"Until now, non-Korean speakers didn't have such a comprehensive, balanced and thoughtful history of Korean anarchism put together … this book is of great interest to scholars in a wide range of disciplines, but also to activists interested in difficult problems such as those of decolonization, development, anti-authoritarian politics and nationalisms … it is a book which was long overdue and we can only praise that, finally, it has become available, filling an important gap." — Anarkismo"In contrast to dominant Korean-language scholarship, this book has a dialectical understanding of the relationship between anarchism and nationalism, one that understands the importance of nationalism for revolution in the colonial context, but one that also shows convincingly that as anarchism in Korea grew and deepened, it acquired significantly transnational dimensions." — Christopher Connery, author of The Empire of the Text: Writing and Authority in Early Imperial China
