<p>Almost forty years after the publication of Hobsbawm and Ranger''s <em>The Invention of Tradition</em>, the subject of invented traditions-cultural and historical practices that claim a continuity with a distant past but which are in fact of relatively recent origin-is still relevant, important, and highly contentious. <em>Invented Traditions in North and South Korea </em>examines the ways in which compressed modernity, Cold War conflict, and ideological opposition has impacted the revival of traditional forms in both Koreas.
