A regional and transnational history of anarchism in Korea by Dongyoun Hwang. This book provides a history of anarchism in Korea and challenges conventional views of Korean anarchism as merely part of nationalist ideology, situating the study within a wider East Asian regional context. Following the movement after 1945, Hwang shows how anarchism in Korea was deradicalized and evolved into an idea for both social revolution and alternative national development, with emphasis on organizing and educating peasants and developing rural villages.

Construction of a community housing village in Seoul is nearing completion.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said recently the construction of the community housing village named Doseodang will be finished soon in Myeonmok-dong, Jungnang District, in eastern Seoul.
Community housing is a form of residence in which residents not only share community spaces but also seek common interests and solve common problems based on the community s own rules.
