Sayaka Chatani. Nation-Empire: Ideology and Rural Youth Mobilization in Japan and Its Colonies
In Nation-Empire: Ideology and Rural Youth Mobilization in Japan and Its Colonies, a strikingly original new work on pre-1945 Japan and its empire, Sayaka Chatani begins by posing a simple but compelling question: Why did tens of thousands of young men across the Japanese empire in the 1930s and 1940s, not only in Japan but also in colonies such as Korea and Taiwan, embrace the military mobilization of the period and even seek to enlist voluntari…
The South Korean Bourgeoisie: A Class in Search of Hegemony
Park Chung Hee and Modern Korea: The Roots of Militarism, 1866–1945
For South Koreans, the twenty years from the early 1960s to late 1970s were the best and worst of times...a period of unprecedented economic growth and of political oppression that deepened as prosperity spread. In this masterly account, Carter J. Eckert finds the roots of South Korea's dramatic socioeconomic transformation in the country's long history of militarization...a history personified in South Korea's paramount leader, Park Chung Hee
Offspring of Empire: The Koch'ang Kims and the Colonial Origins of Korean Capitalism, 1876-1945
According to conventional interpretations, the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910 destroyed a budding native capitalist economy on the peninsula and blocked the development of a Korean capitalist class until 1945. In this expansive and provocative study, now available in paperback, Carter J. Eckert challenges the standard view and argues that Japanese imperialism, while politically oppressive, was also the catalyst and cradle of modern Korean i…
Literature and Film in Cold War South Korea: Freedom's Frontier
During the past twenty years or so, scholarship on modern Korea has largely concentrated on the period of Japanese colonial rule, exploring how the Koreans actively participated in the formation of their own “modernity” within the colonial crucible and, most recently, how they responded to the wartime imperial mobilization of the late 1930s and early 1940s. For the most part, such scholarship has confined itself to the colonial era itself, with p…
Takashi Fujitani. Race for Empire: Koreans as Japanese and Japanese as Americans during World War II
Takashi Fujitani's Race for Empire is a bold and provocative book that traverses national boundaries and subverts a number of conventional views of the United States and Japan in World War II. It expands the pioneering scholarship of Akira Iriye and (especially) John W. Dower on issues of race during the war, while also contributing to a growing multilingual body of scholarship on the Japanese wartime empire, including recent English-language wor…
