ABSTRACT
In his new book, Markus Bell explores the hidden histories of the men, women, and children who travelled from Japan in the 1960s to the world's most secretive state--North Korea. Through vivid ethnographic details and interviews with North Korean escapees, Outsiders: Memories of Migration to and from North Korea reveals the driving forces that propelled thousands of ordinary people to risk it all in Kim Il-Sung's "Worker's Paradise", only to escape back to Japan half a century later.
