AMERIE'S BOOK CLUB February 2023 | The Hard Road Out by Jihyun Park and Seh-Lynn Chai

- Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG, and watch the conversation between me, Jihyun Park, and Seh-Lynn Chai here on UA-cam ( / amerieonyoutube ) February 28!
THE HARD ROAD OUT is a harrowing read but also a hopeful one. From Jihyun Park’s recounting of her terrifying days in North Korea and her time as a trafficked human being in China, to Seh-Lynn’s exploration of her relationship to North Korea as a South Korean woman, this collaborative work is certainly momentous. It is not, however, solely important due to its first-hand accounting of life in North Korea, but rather to the idea Park and Chai pose: that the road to reunification rests not ultimately with the governments of North and South Korea, but in the hearts of the two nations’ peoples, and that perhaps therein lie the first steps.

After her second escape from North Korea, with the help of the UN, she was granted asylum seeker status in 2008 and moved to Bury, Greater Manchester, where she lives with her husband Kwang and three children. She has been outreach and project officer at the European Alliance for Human Rights in North Korea and is a human rights activist.

Amerie, if you ever teach a college course, I’m signing up! Yes yes yes to all of this including your book selection for this month!
You don't age at all beautiful as always❤lvu Amerie....
Thank you for speaking about our people.
Off topic, but I want to suggest using a lavalier mic like Rode wireless Go, so you can get rid of some of the reverb in your audio.
It will make a big difference to us viewers, especially for your beautiful voice.
Hi! It would be wonderful if you had an Amazon store front where we could purchase your book club selections 💙💙💙
OMG it's Amerie 🤩I didn't even realise I subscribed to your channel. Wow this is super cool Awwwh ☺️. Great to see you in great form 👍. It's heartbreaking to hear about all the horrors about what's happening in NK.🙁
Come back Amerie!
🤩😍
How does she still look 18, 18 years later?
You can have more than two people on IG live..
And all this time I thought she was biracial, interesting.
? Um...she is??
She is. Blasian
1 thing ?
Yeah I heard that hit song 🙌👍 and it's was a rap !. 🙂
I'm glad to have you back, Amerie! 💖💗💞😍😘
Sounds like a good read. I took an East Asian studies course some years ago at the university. When we got to Korea, it dawned on me how little I knew about the history/people. Public school barely teaches a tiny speck about Korea, and it is only the U.S. prospective.
You are so beautiful amerie 💖💖💓💓💚💚💗❤️❤️💕💕💛💙💙💘💘💕💞💞🖤🖤🌹💐🌹🌹🌹🌹and I love your video and music videos too i love this book ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for the love!
You are so welcome beautiful amerie ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹💐🌹🌹🌹💐💐🌹🌟🌟⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️
Still love your music. You still got it!!! 🔥
Amerie has been wifey since "why don't we fall in love" 🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰💯... Hopefully someone will get me this book for my birthday... Its this month 💯... The way your explaining this book,its a must read
I watched documentaries on the lives of Koreans and I cried. It was painful. I learned to be more appreciative of my life and it humbled me a lot! I barely complain now! People make huge sacrifices to get to where I am . 💜 and I pray they receive all they are seeking 🙏🏾💜
The world needs better leaders too much of the leaders are exalted as god over the people and regimes should not be able to take over a government or rule the government such as the situation the North Korean people are currently experiencing😉
Trump
I'll definitely be reading this!

I’m sure it’s a great read, but I was looking forward to a black author for Black History Month! Maybe a part 2 for February!
