Among The People (book Series)
''Among the People'' is a live album by the Art Ensemble of Chicago originally released in 1981 as an LP on the Greek Praxis label, and reissued on CD as ''Live in Milano'' on the Golden Years of New Jazz label in 2001. Reception In his review for AllMusic, François Couture stated "This short (37 minutes) live set of the Art Ensemble of Chicago was recorded in August 1980, while the group was enjoying a gust of popularity, and released by the label Praxis under the title ''Among the People''. Kostas Yiannoulopoulos was not authorized to publish it, so it came out in bootleg form with track titles and credits all messed up ... As unessential ''Live in Milano'' is, it still presents one hell of a performance. Lester Bowie and Malachi Favors are in particularly good shape, everyone is good-humored and playful". In JazzTimes, John Litweiler said "This concert was good, though not one of their best. It was poorly recorded, and the horn solos were badly miked, so turn up the volume whe ...

North Korean Literature
Reading is a popular pastime in North Korea, where literacy and books enjoy a high cultural standing, elevated by the regime's efforts to disseminate propaganda as texts. Because of this, writers are held in high prestige. The partition of Korea following the Second World War led to a considerable cross-border movement, which included writers moving from North to South or from South to North. North Korea's subsequent literary tradition was shaped and controlled by the State. The "Guidelines for ''Juche'' Literature", published by the official (), emphasised that literature must extoll the country's leader, Kim Il-sung, and, later, Kim Jong-il. Only members of the Writers' Alliance are authorised to have their works published. History Background Russian, and later Soviet, literature were popular in pre-liberation North Korea. Koreans viewed Russian literature very differently from Western audiences, searching for Confucian undertones of social engineering. While Westerners ...

With The Century
''Reminiscences: With the Century'' () is the autobiography of Kim Il-sung, founder and former president of North Korea. The memoirs, written in 1992 and published in eight volumes, retell Kim's life story through his childhood to the time of Korean resistance. Initially, a total of 30 volumes were planned but Kim Il-sung died in 1994 after just six volumes; the seventh and eight volumes were published posthumously. The work reveals early influences of religious and literary ideas on Kim's thinking. An important part of North Korean literature, ''With the Century'' is held as a valuable if somewhat unreliable insight into the nation's modern history under late colonial Korea. The book is considered one of a few North Korean primary sources widely available in the West and as notable research material for North Korean studies. Authorship of ''With the Century'' is disputed with claims that it was written by professional writers instead of Kim Il-sung himself. History Up unti ...

It was used as a textbook for indoctrination until it was effectively replaced by another piece of guerilla literature, Kim Il-sung's autobiography ''With the Century'', in the 1990s. The memoirs were written in order to portray Kim Il-sung as a national liberator, and to strengthen his cult of personality. However, the memoirs are still used as a textbook in ideological workplace study sessions, as well as in other forms of indoctrination. Many of the memoirs have been adapted as movies by the North Korean film industry. Role of the memoirs and state propaganda The Party History Institute(당력사연구소) was founded in 1958, and its collection of memoirs, ''Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerillas'', was published in 1959, when Kim Il-sung's cult of personality was being strengthened after the ...

History Of Anti-Japanese Armed Struggle
History (derived ) is the systematic study and the documentation of the human activity. The time period of event before the invention of writing systems is considered prehistory. "History" is an umbrella term comprising past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of these events. Historians seek knowledge of the past using historical sources such as written documents, oral accounts, art and material artifacts, and ecological markers. History is not complete and still has debatable mysteries. History is also an academic discipline which uses narrative to describe, examine, question, and analyze past events, and investigate their patterns of cause and effect. Historians often debate which narrative best explains an event, as well as the significance of different causes and effects. Historians also debate the nature of history as an end in itself, as well as its usefulness to give perspective on the problems of the p ...
