Recenzii
'This is a thorough, scholarly, excellently researched study of the origins and rise of soju, Korea's distinctive distilled alcoholic drink, which extends our knowledge of food and of technology significantly, by putting the rise of soju in global context over a thousand years of history. Providing unique documentation of a beverage world otherwise almost unknown outside Korea, it is a welcome addition to global food studies.' Eugene N. Anderson, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Riverside
'Soju is a very useful addition to the field of early modern alcohol studies. The depth and breadth of the evidence is extraordinary and Hyunhee Park's easily accessible style makes the work valuable to audiences well beyond Asian specialists. Ultimately, the book may help to shift the gaze away from sixteenth-century Europe and toward early modern Asia when discussing the origins of globalization.' Gina Hames, Pacific Lutheran University
'Hyunhee Park shows how Korea's soju arose in the global context of a Mongol world, how it developed as a local and national liquor, and how it has become global itself in a new globalization. Brilliant and interdisciplinary, the volume explores the deep and dynamic roots of a popular liquor.' Dongwon Shin, Jeonbuk National University
'… Soju: A Global History is a study in possibilities for how to think about global history as well as how to reframe Korean and northeast Asian history therein. Foregrounding material exchange and technology as the chief lens for Korean globalisms allows not only an escape from the myopia of ethno-centric nationalism, but also a clear glimpse at the dynamic interplay of material mobilities, technological acculturation, and identity (re)formations. That dynamic at the heart of Soju is both proof of Korea's global entanglement and a clarion to excavate the bedrock of this cultural powerhouse's globalism.' Aaron Molnar, International Journal of Asian Studies
'These truly global products-both soju and this book about soju-are invaluable assets to global academia and the global community in general, including lovers of soju … the story of Soju stands to symbolize how we are all equally susceptible to the pains and pleasures of the physical world.' Soo-Hyun Mun, Pacific Affairs
'Those interested in premodern Korean history will find this book a welcome addition to a field that needs more studies in English. Recommended.' M. J. Wert, Choice
'… an impressive work that should appeal to a range of audiences … Korean historians and food studies scholars will benefit from the books ability to synthesize an eclectic range of primary and secondary sources on soju and distillation. More broadly, the book serves as an exemplary model for students of transnational history—it demonstrates how toeffectively navigate the interaction of the global and local contexts across time and space.' H-Soz-Kult
'There is hardly any doubt that Park's monograph will become an essential read to anyone interested in soju, or even more broadly, the history of distilled liquors.' Cho Wonhee, Acta Koreana
'Park's Soju: A Global History represents an ambitious project adroitly rendered. It follows soju and its attendant culture and technology from premodern Afro- Eurasia, throughout the Mongol empire, across the Choso˘n dynasty and Japanese colonial period, and finally to the contemporary Korean Wave. It will amply serve as an end in itself as well as a fecund point of departure for both researchers and students in a wide range of academic disciplines and historical periods.' John M. Frankl, Seoul Journal of Korean Studies
