TW: Police violence

This book is so important. Seriously, read this!
Sometimes the most rebellious thing to do is read.
This memoir felt like an ode to young protestors, and although covers South Korea in 1983, applies strongly today. I'm embarassed to say that this was the first time I've heard of the Gwangju Uprising. 
This text belongs in the hands of young people attending high school world history/college literature/and student run newspaper works-paces at the minimum.
