    Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Jean H. Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park This dissertation follows the activism of Korean students in New York City and the trajectory of their American education as it applied to Korea’s colonization under the Empire of Japan. As a focused historical account of the educational experiences of Korean students in New York from 1907 to 1937, this dissertation uses archival evidence from their associations, correspondence, publications, and the institutions they studied at to construct a transnational narrative that positions the Korean students operating within and outside the confines of their colonial experience. The following dissertation answers how the Korean students applied their American education and experiences to the Korean independence movement, and emphasizes the interplay of colonization, religion, and American universities in contouring the students’ activism and hopes for a liberated Korea.

  • Civilisational Values and Political Economy Beyond the West: The
    Civilisational Values and Political Economy Beyond the West: The Significance of Korean Debates at the Time of Its Economic Opening Hyoung-kyu Chey National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) Eric Helleiner University of Waterloo November 2017 The Version of Record of this manuscript has been published and is available in Contemporary Politics, Volume 24 Issue 2 (2018), http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13569775.2017.1411418. Scholarship in the field of international political economy (IPE) has increasingly devoted attention to how civilisational values have shaped historical understandings of international economic relations. Particularly prominent has been work highlighting the Eurocentric metanarratives embodied in the 19th and early 20th century Western political economy debates that created the foundations of the modern field of IPE (e.g. Hobson 2013a, b; Blaney and Inayatullah 2010). Scholars such as John Hobson (2013b) have argued that only by recognising and transcending these intellectual foundations can a more truly ‘inter-civilisational’ IPE emerge in the current era. Within this growing body of scholarship, much less attention has been devoted to the question of how civilisational values informed thinking beyond the West about international economic relations during the 19th and early 20th centuries. One important exception, however, is Cristina Rojas’ (1995, 2002) analysis of Latin American debates about free trade in the mid-19th century. Focusing on the case of Colombia, she shows how creole elites embraced free trade ideas at this time as part of their wider commitment to import Western civilisational values. She also shows how these elites rejected any active role for the state in promoting local industry because the latter was dominated by artisans whose character they considered ‘uncivilised’ and whose products were not in keeping with the imported styles they preferred (Rojas, 2002, p.105).

E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 29, 2018 Accepted: May 3, 2018 Online Published: June 22, 2018 doi:10.5539/ass.v14n7p53 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v14n7p53 Abstract The relationship between the ancient and modern China with the Korean Peninsula can be summed up using the term "fed by the same river", meaning neighbours separated by only a strip of water. Especially with the efforts of both China and Korea, the ancient East Asia region has created a splendid culture and has been the leaders in the world for a long period of time. However, by the end of the 19th century, the Japanese imperialist forces had always tried to 'Conquer the Korean Peninsula,' and, in 1910, the Korean Peninsula finally became a Japanese colony. After entering the modern era, one of the phenomenas manifested in the information flow in East Asia is the rapid development of media in China and Japan due to the increase in newspapers and magazines issued by the West. 190 years ago, Chosun Dynasty under the Lee Family had continuously initiated the modernization movement in the Korean Peninsula, through introducing modernization productions from the West, the Qing Dynasty and Japan. In the modernization process, the opposition between "ethnography" and "pro- Japanese Korean" have resulted social conflicts.

PARK In You Always Remember the First Time, a volume of stories edited by the avant- garde writer B. S. Johnson, story 19 begins with a nineteen-year-old English boy on his National Service, in search of a radical departure from home.1 Returning to Catterick Camp after being sick-on-leave with tonsillitis I discovered they’d put me down for a ‘Home’ posting. Immediately I dashed along to the RSM’s office and complained that I wanted to go overseas. “It’s a bit late. Where did you want to go?” “To Korea,” I said. “Good God! Why?” “To get as far away from England as possible.” The officer’s response, “Good God! Why?” encapsulates a typical British attitude to Korea which reaches far beyond the confines of this narrative. As late as 1975, when this volume was published, Korea was, for most British people, the farthest point on earth; and if this was not factually correct, it was nevertheless true for the cultural consciousness of the British people. So when the news came that Margaret Drabble was writing a novel based on a Korean classic, Lady Hyegyŏng’s Hanjung rok, the Korean expatriate community in Britain expressed as much amazement as delight.

  • Memory of the Donghak Peasant Uprising and the Sino-Japanese War: a Focus on the July 7, 1894 Incident Japanese Military Possession of the Joseon Palace
    Japan’s “Distorted” Memory of the Donghak Peasant Uprising and the Sino-Japanese War: A Focus on the July 7, 1894 Incident Japanese Military Possession of the Joseon Palace Park Maeng-soo The purpose of this article is to elucidate the Japanese people’s memory of Japanese plundering in Asia at the end of the nineteenth century that started the Donghak Peasant Uprising and Sino-Japanese War. Below, each of the total six sections of this essay will be summarized. The first section presents the backdrop of the currently existing Japanese right-wing phenomenon that helped elect Ishihara Shintaro into office, and highlights how histori- cal understanding becomes beautified and “distorted” with an in-depth analysis of the nineteenth century, when Japanese plunder in Asia sparked the Donghak Peasant and Sino-Japanese Wars. The second section covers the distortions of Japanese historical textbooks as repre- sented in the Saeroun yeoksa gyogwaseo (The New History Textbook), issued in 2001, and analyzes the related accounts between the rise of the Donghak Peasant and Sino- Japanese Wars and points out how this historical “distorted” memory actually gets reproduced in contemporary Japanese society. The third section analyzes the deeply rooted history of Japanese distorted facts concerning the Donghak Peasant and Sino-Japanese Wars, starting with the “royal edict propaganda” of 1894, the government’s first history textbook, official military histories, and clears up the facts of where the formation of Japanese “distorted” memo- ry originated by looking at similar past textbooks, war history books, researchers, etc. The fourth section clears up nothing less than the origin of the Japanese “distort- ed” memory of the Donghak Peasant and Sino-Japanese Wars - the facts about the first use of armed forces to “seize the Joseon Royal Palace incident” that started the Donghak War and related historical materials that were, from the outset, fabricated by the Japanese government administrators and militarists.
