Описание:
Colonial Rule and Social Change in Korea 1910-1945 highlights the complex interaction between indigenous activity and colonial governance, emphasizing how Japanese rule adapted to Korean and missionary initiatives, as well as how Koreans found space within the colonial system to show agency. Topics covered range from economic development and national identity to education and family; from peasant uprisings and thought conversion to a comparison of missionary and colonial leprosariums. These various new assessments of Japan's colonial legacy may open up new and illuminating approaches to historical memory that will resonate not just in Korean studies, but in colonial and postcolonial studies in general, and will have implications for the future of regional politics in East Asia.
Описание: Twenty-six states; four provinces; one piano; thirty feet of a chool bus named Pearl: this is the simple, oft-awkward story of a most extraordinary escape from the mundane. Here, three old friends telegraph a bleak, prescribed economic present into a reckless, hand-built future; as if by kismet, a dream in yellow-and-black rolls into the picture. Soon, the friends find themselves soot-smeared on aCalifornian ranch, bolting a junkyard piano to the bus' inner wall, discussing hopes and fears with limited concern for what the futuremight portend. Steered by a revolving pack of as many as seven, each reeking badly of whiskey and sweat, Pearl glides her way across North America, inspiring concerts, love affairs, and icy pools of rooftop vomit, coasting triumphantly into Los Angeles on one smoggy September afternoon. Behold a group of middle-class vagrants. Behold a band of dreamers.
