a necessary read on the brutality a government and its state forces enacts on civilians practicing their rights to dissent. it’s heavy but turning away from the weight of all these stories is a disservice to what these lives fought for.
state brutality in south korea during the 80s parallels the state brutality the philippines faced at the same time and up to this day. human acts by han kang is a necessary read as the current philippine administration slowly erases the violence, suppression, disappearances, and uprisings from our history.
