Title: The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters
Author: B. R. Myers
Publisher: Melville House
Year: 2010
208 pages
A fascinating premise rendered unpleasant to read by the author's asides. Interesting ideas, the flow of which is frequently interrupted by Myers's compulsion to snarl at, bite, and cast aspersions upon others who have studied North Korea and its beliefs. I'd teach with it, but I don't want my students to think that this is an acceptable way to critique other academics.
