"Colonial Rule and Social Change in Korea 1910-1945" highlights the
complex interaction between indigenous activity and colonial
governance, emphasizing how Japanese rule adapted to Korean and
missionary initiatives, as well as how Koreans found space within
the colonial system to show agency. Topics covered range from
economic development and national identity to education and family;
from peasant uprisings and thought conversion to a comparison of
missionary and colonial leprosariums. These various new assessments
of Japan's colonial legacy may open up new and illuminating
approaches to historical memory that will resonate not just in
Korean studies, but in colonial and postcolonial studies in
general, and will have implications for the future of regional
politics in East Asia.
