The Korean demilitarized zone might be among the most heavily guarded places on earth; but it also provides passage for thousands of defectors; spies; political emissaries; war prisoners; activists; tourists; and others testing the limits of Korean division. This book focuses on a diverse selection of inter-Korean border crossers and the citizenship they acquire based on emotional affiliation rather than constitutional delineation. Using their physical bodies and emotions as optimal frontiers; these individuals resist the statersquo;s right to draw geopolitical borders and define their national identity. Drawing on sources that range from North Korean documentary films; museum exhibitions; and theater productions to protester perspectives and interviews with South Korean officials and activists; this volume recasts the history of Korean division and draws a much more nuanced portrait of the regionrsquo;s Cold War legacies. The book ultimately helps readers conceive of the DMZ as a dynamic summation of personalized experiences rather than as a fixed site of historical significance.
