A Cultural History of Modern Korean Literature: The Birth of Oppa
examines the cultural and social impact of Japanese colonialism and
modernity on the wider aspects of everyday life in Korea. Selected
as an outstanding work in 2004 by the National Academy of Sciences
in South Korea, is by any measure a remarkable work. Lee considers
a wide range of literary and cultural texts, exploring significant
historical moments and phenomena while critically assessing
personal experience and social life, mainly how modernity,
colonialism, and total war shaped national and cultural identities.
This text also reflects the complex and refractory legacy of
Japanese colonialism and modernity. Lee's foray into the complex
relationships between Korea, Japan, and the West offers a
thoroughly engaging study of the origins of modern Korean culture
and society during the first half of the 20th century. The first of
its kind, Lee offers a richly vivid portrait of a rapidly changing
landscape, fueled by modernity and technology, one that will appeal
to general readers and students alike.
