Modern Korean nationalism has been shaped by the turbulent
historical forces that shook and transformed the peninsula during
the twentieth century, including foreign occupation, civil war, and
division. This book examines the emergence of the nation as the
hegemonic form of collective identity after the March First
Movement of 1919, widely seen as one of the major turning points of
modern Korean history. The analysis focuses on Yi Gwangsu
(1892-1950), a pioneering novelist, newspaper editor, and leader of
the nationalist movement, who was directly involved in many aspects
of its emergence during the Japanese occupation period. Yi Gwangsu
was one of the few intellectuals who not only wrote for almost the
entirety of the colonial period but who also was centrally involved
in many institutions related to the production of identity. By
focusing on Yi Gwangsu the book provides a different kind of
historical narrative linking the various fragments of the nation,
puts forward a new understanding of the March First Movement and
its role in the emergence of the nation, and demonstrates how
central to the emergence of the nation were the development of the
print industry, the rise of a modern readership, and the emergence
of a capitalist market for print. This book shows how the March
First Movement catalyzed the confluence of these factors, enabling
the nation to emerge as the dominant form of collective identity.
