About “The cleanest race”

The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why it Matters is a 2010 non-fiction book by Brian Reynolds Myers. The book is based on a study of North Korean propaganda intended for internal audiences. Myers contends that the country's guiding ideology is a race-based far-right nationalism influenced by Japanese fascism, rather than a form of communism. His analysis draws from materials in the Information Center on North Korea. The work examines how North Koreans perceive themselves and how this self-image shapes the country's political and social structure. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
