Colonial Modernity in Korea
Author | |
Abstract |
Gi-Wook Shin and Michael Robinson have edited a book that brings together academics from a range of disciplines to present a comprehensive perspective of Korea’s colonial period from a more integrative and pluralist viewpoint…In taking on an alternative view of Korea’s colonial period, the book provides a valuable addition to the Korean historical literature. The rationale is well argued and avoids disparaging previous work. Nationalist biases (both Korean and Japanese) are avoided and editors and contributors project a richness of perspective that allows for a reassessment of the importance of the colonial period in the development of the modern Korean state. —David Pollard (Enterprise and Society )
