Dynamic and meticulously researched, A History of Korea continues
to be one of the leading introductory textbooks on Korean history.
Assuming no prior knowledge, Hwang guides readers from early state
formation and the dynastic eras to the modern experience in both
North and South Korea. Structured around episodic accounts, each
chapter begins by discussing a defining moment in Korean history in
context, with an extensive examination of how the events and themes
under consideration have been viewed up to the present day. By
engaging with recurring themes such as collective identity,
external influence, social hierarchy, family and gender, the author
introduces the major historical events, patterns and debates that
have shaped both North and South Korea over the past 1500 years.
This textbook is essential reading for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of Korean or Asian history. The first half of
the book covers pre-20th century history, and the second half the
modern era, making it ideal for survey courses.
