While Time Remains: A North Korean Defectors Search for Freedom in America

內容簡介

內容簡介 《為了活下去》脫北者朴研美新作，以脫北者的角度觀看美國民主自由社會中的弔詭。 從北韓到美國，朴研美從一個脫北者成為在美國社會可以自由生活的人，但她卻在這樣的社會，看見許多令她質疑和困惑之處。 風行西方世界的「取消文化」和「政治正確」觀念，在網路社群與媒體上彷彿是處世教條，甚至在長春藤聯盟的大學裡也不例外，她於2016年進入哥倫比亞大學就讀，本以為可以自由地閱讀、發表與學習各種思想，卻發現大學中普遍存在一種反西方思維，追求極度政治正確，且習慣以一種集體罪惡感不斷自我情緒勒索。 她記得一次與同儕對話，她表示喜歡珍‧奧斯汀的作品，卻被同儕說「妳不知道那裡面充滿了殖民主義的立場嗎？」並認為她不該再看這類作品。 朴研美驚訝地發現，彷彿有一種隱形的標竿存在美國自由民主的社會上，輕易地將人們區別分類，貼標籤，但又是誰去決定這些標準與事情的對錯？她以自己的角度和目光，觀察並省視美國社會的各種現象，直言不諱，勇於表達自己的想法。 The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart. After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats. In While Time Remains, Park sounds the alarm for Americans by highlighting the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently. Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it.
