and knowledge to write their own future and destiny as a nation” (p. 217). Baek informs readers that they too can become involved with organizations that send information into North Korea, which may include “researching best practices from comparative situations, finding and/or creating technologies for dissemination purposes, creating and editing original digital content, fundraising, and more” (p. 225). Readers may ponder whether foreign media has actually created a “hidden revolution” in North Korea, as Baek’s title states. Baek could have unpacked the notion of a revolution more explicitly. Indeed, illegal, hidden, and outside information may very well be sowing the seeds for a revolution. These are issues that Baek and her readers should continue to explore, both intellectually and pragmatically. Baek’s North Korea’s Hidden Revolution is a valuable examination of the transformative power of media and information. The text makes a vital contribution to our understanding of North and South Korea, and is a must read for those invested in Korean studies and human rights. The timing of Baek’s work is opportune as “now, more than ever, North Korean people are taking extraordinary risks to learn more about the world that exists outside of their universe” (p. 256).

和知识来书写他们作为一个国家的未来和命运”（第 217 页）。Baek 告诉读者，他们也可以参与向朝鲜发送信息的组织，其中可能包括“从比较情况中研究最佳实践、寻找和/或创建用于传播目的的技术、创建和编辑原始数字内容、筹款等”（第 225 页）。读者可能会思考，外国媒体是否真的像白的标题所说的那样在朝鲜制造了一场“隐藏的革命”。贝克本可以更明确地解开革命的概念。事实上，非法的、隐藏的和外部的信息很可能正在播下革命的种子。这些是白和她的读者应该继续探索的问题，无论是在智力上还是务实上。白的朝鲜的秘密革命是对媒体和信息变革力量的宝贵考察。本书对我们了解朝鲜和韩国做出了重要贡献，是那些致力于韩国研究和人权的人的必读之物。Baek 工作的时机恰到好处，因为“现在，朝鲜人民比以往任何时候都更加冒着巨大的风险，以更多地了解存在于他们宇宙之外的世界”（第 256 页）。
