Decolonial Becoming

“Decolonial Becoming moves brilliantly across geographies, modalities, narratives, and histories of the militarized Pacific to explore how immobility and mobility are used for colonial subjugation. It is a daring, original, and creative intervention that understands decolonial becoming as an archipelagic project that requires transpacific connections beyond visibility.” - Eunjung Kim, author of Curative Violence: Rehabilitating Disability, Gender, and Sexuality in Modern Korea

“Decolonial Becoming radically rethinks modern Korean history. Its theory-infused critical readings of the literary archives from across historical, transnational, and diasporic Koreas enable a repositioning and re-understanding of ‘Korea’ in its relationality with the past and ongoing de/neo/coloniality of other global locations.” - Jin-kyung Lee, University of California, San Diego
