Villages Astir: Community Development, Tradition, and Change in Korea Turner, John E., Hesli, Vicki L., Bark, Dong Suh, and Yu, Hoon

This volume deals with Korean rural communities that have been influenced by two civilizations: Confucian, with its emphasis on communal values and cooperation within the group, and Western, with its emphasis on the individual. Authors Turner, Hesli, Bark, and Yu assess the impact of a community development program in Korean villages where the communal ties of Confucianism are still noticeable, in contrast with more loosely-knit settlements where the forces of individualism are stronger.
