| book description |

**Winner of the National Book Award (USA) ** â€˜I decided to translate the stories of eight girls who survived the Sancheong-Hamyang massacre, which took place in Gyeongsangnam-do, a southern province of South Korea, in 1951. My decision to translate the girlsâ€™ stories wasnâ€™t entirely mine alone. It can take billions of years for light to reach us through the galaxies, which is to say, History is ever arriving.â€™ Woven from verse, prose, photographs, historical reports, typographic experimentation, drawings and more, DMZ Colony explores Edward Said's notion of â€˜intertwined and overlapping historiesâ€™ in regards to South Korea and the United States. In a language of haunting and suggestive construction, increasingly words give way to her fatherâ€™s documentary photos from the time of General Park Chung Heeâ€™s brutal putsch and dictatorship, , a regime supported by the USA. Like its sister books in Choiâ€™s highly acclaimed KOR-US trilogy (Hardly War and Mirror Nation), DMZ Colony holds history accountable, its very presence a resistance to empire and a hope in humankind.
