The Korean Struggle for International Identity in the Foreground of the Shufeldt Negotiation, 1866-1882($67.95Value)

Description

The Korean Struggle for International Identity in the Foreground of the Shufeldt Negotiation, 1866-1882 places a special focus on how Koreans view themselves and the outside world, in particular China, Japan, and the United States. The book challenges the one-sided-Chinese and Japanese respectively-view of the Korea-China and Korea-Japan relationships, and brings the much-neglected Korean perspective to the forefront. “[Kang's] chief merit is in showing some different, at times even fascinating 'trees'…but the shape of the 'forest' of Korea's ambiguous status until 1895 remains unchanged.” ―Vipan Chandra, American Historical Review Woong Joe Kang is Adjunct Professor of Church History and Director of Asian Programs at Howard University Divinity School.
