About This Book
Cultural Writing. Essays. Poetry. Art. Women's Studies. Asian Studies. Edited by the Korean Canadian Women's Anthology Collective. HAN KUT: CRITICAL ART AND WRITING BY KOREAN CANADIAN WOMEN is an anthology of writing and visual art that asks what are the creative possibilities of being Korean, Canadian, and a woman at this particular historical moment? This book offers a variety of meanings and perspectives on how the identities of race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, religion, and nationality shape and inform the ways in which Korean Canadian women are seen, and more importantly, see themselves. From deeply personal vignettes to broader critiques of Canadian society, this anthology provides a diverse collection of short stories, prose, poetry, visual art, academic and personal essays that contribute to building a more complete landscape of published works by, for, and about Korean women in Canada.
