Gi-Wook Shin and Michael Robinson have edited a book that brings
together academics from a range of disciplines to present a
comprehensive perspective of Korea’s colonial period from a more
integrative and pluralist viewpoint… In taking on an alternative
view of Korea’s colonial period, the book provides a valuable
addition to the Korean historical literature. The rationale is well
argued and avoids disparaging previous work. Nationalist biases
(both Korean and Japanese) are avoided and editors and contributors
project a richness of perspective that allows for a reassessment of
the importance of the colonial period in the development of the
modern Korean state.
