The residents of the three northern provinces of Korea have long
had cultural and linguistic characteristics that have marked them
as distinct from their brethren in the central area near the
capital and in the southern provinces. The making and legitimating
of centralized Korean nation-states over the centuries, however,
have marginalized the northern region and its distinct
subjectivities. Contributors to this book address the problem of
amnesia regarding this distinct subjectivity of the northern region
of Korea in contemporary, historical, and cultural discourses,
which have largely been dominated by grand paradigms, such as
modernization theory, the positivist perspective, and Marxism.
Through the use of storytelling, linguistic analysis, and journal
entries from turn-of-the-century missionaries and traveling
Russians in addition to many varieties of unconventional primary
sources, the authors creatively explore unfamiliar terrain while
examining the culture, identity, and regional distinctiveness of
the northern region and its people. They investigate how the
northern part of the Korean peninsula developed and changed
historically from the early Choson to the colonial period and come
to a consensus regarding the importance of regionalism as a vital
factor in historical transformation, especially in regard to
Korea's tumultuous modern era.
