Description
The Great Enterprise: Sovereignty and Historiography in Modern Korea By Henry Em This book examines how the project of national sovereignty shaped the work of Korean historians and their representations of Korea's past. The pursuit of sovereignty was central to modern Korean politics, serving as a tool for both Japanese and Western imperialisms, as well as Korean nationalism. Em surveys historical works from the twentieth century, exploring the influence of Christian missionaries and Japan's colonial policy on the narrative framework for defining Korea's national past. He also analyzes postcolonial works in which South Korean historians promoted national narratives suitable for South Korea's place in the U.S.-led Cold War system.
