In recent years, discussion of the colonial period in Korea has
centered mostly on the degree of exploitation or development that
took place domestically, while international aspects have been
relatively neglected. Colonial discourse, such as characterization
of Korea as a "hermit nation," was promulgated around the world by
Japan and haunts us today. The colonization of Korea also
transformed Japan and has had long-term consequences for post-World
War II Northeast Asia as a whole. Through sections that explore
Japan's images of Korea, colonial Koreans' perceptions of foreign
societies and foreign relations, and international perceptions of
colonial Korea, the essays in this volume show the broad influence
of Japanese colonialism not simply on the Korean peninsula, but on
how the world understood Japan and how Japan understood itself.
When initially incorporated into the Japanese empire, Korea seemed
lost to Japan's designs, yet Korean resistance to colonial rule,
along with later international fear of Japanese expansion, led the
world to rethink the importance of Korea as a future sovereign
nation.
