Synopsis
This study examines how the concept of "Korean woman" underwent a radical transformation in Korea's public discourse during the years of Japanese colonialism. Theodore Jun Yoo shows that as women moved out of traditional spheres to occupy new positions outside the home, they encountered the pervasive control of the colonial state, which sought to impose modernity on them. While some Korean women conformed to the dictates of colonial hegemony, others took deliberate pains to distinguish between what was "modern" (e.g., Western outfits) and thus legitimate, and what was "Japanese," and thus illegitimate. Yoo argues that what made the experience of these women unique was the dual confrontation with modernity itself and with Japan as a colonial power.

- w***4 (1009)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI just received the book and it is AMAZING! They show clear original and current floor plans with a timeline. A lot of work was put into it and the description and images are just beyond. I love architecture books that show entire floor plans, as it helps match the image and have a better sense of space. Highly recommend getting this book, as it is exceptional! Good if others would follow the example and include floor plans on their books, as it's annoying not to have it. thanks
