HISTORY: Despite its reputation as the “hermit kingdom,” North Korea has attempted economic exchanges with the West before. The DPRK and the U.K. brokered some trade in the 1960s, only to end in failure. nknews.org/pro/shunning-i…

Monica Macias spent her childhood growing up in North Korea under the care of Kim Il Sung. In her book recently published in English, Macias writes on being the daughter of an Equatorial Guinean dictator and searching for her identity. nknews.org/2023/06/book-r…

My thoughts on the rapprochement between the DPRK and Russia

ANALYSIS: Beyond 9/11, Sept 11 commemorates a different tragedy: the Chilean coup 50 years ago. The coup disrupted President Allende's socialist revolution and led North Korea to lose an ally in a U.S.-dominated region. nknews.org/pro/north-kore…

I've never realized how euro-american-centric is the history of historiography. All the textbooks I have read for my course show how great historians were/are in the "West", and that's it. And man, "La invención de América" by O'Gorman predates the "linguistic turn" by 15 years.

The special section co-edited with Mariana Perry on the global dimensions of the Chilean coup just came out at BLAR! Our introduction and Eugenia Palieraki(eraki's) piece are open-access. With the others, well, you know what to do 🤐 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14709856/2…
