The twelve chapters in this volume seek to overcome the
nationalist paradigm of Japanese repression and exploitation versus
Korean resistance that has dominated the study of Korea's colonial
period (1910-1945) by adopting a more inclusive, pluralistic
approach that stresses the complex relations among colonialism,
modernity, and nationalism. By addressing such diverse subjects as
the colonial legal system, radio, telecommunications, the rural
economy, and industrialization and the formation of industrial
labor, one group of essays analyzes how various aspects of
modernity emerged in the colonial context and how they were
mobilized by the Japanese for colonial domination, with often
unexpected results. A second group examines the development of
various forms of identity from nation to gender to class,
particularly how aspects of colonial modernity facilitated their
formation through negotiation, contestation, and redefinition.
