ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since the famine of the 1990s, socialist North Korea has experienced a dramatic rise in black and grey markets as people seek a way out of the crisis. While previous studies have focused on the \u201cold generation\u201d of North Koreans engaging in the markets as producers and traders catering to the emerging subsistence economy, the \u201cnew generation\u201d remains largely understudied. This \u201cnew generation\u201d of North Koreans, who have spent their formative teenage years in post-famine North Korea, have experienced the markets as a commonplace, and hence had developed a sense for consumerism earlier than their parents\u2019 generation did. Drawing on oral history interviews with five female refugees raised in different regions in North Korea during their formative years, this study found that the \u201cnew generation\u201d of North Koreans has become more capitalist than their counterparts in market-oriented South Korea or even those in the United States, North Korea\u2019s archenemy. Some implications of this shift in values are discussed at the end of this research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
