In some way, your aspirations and concern for a single man in fact do begin to change the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a mil;.::.eter, the way a person looks or people look at reality, then you can change it.

Thanks to the publishers who generously sen. review copies of their books, with- out which the job would have been a great deal more difficult, if not impossible. This was indeed a group project. Members of the committee spent long hours reading and annotating books, a task more difficult than it appears. I thank them for that, and for their advice and support. A number of other people stepped in to help clear up the backlog of books waiting to be annotated as the deadline for submission of the manuscript came and went. For little or no compensation, the following people generously gave their time, their support, their sometimes ada- mant opinions, their expert knowledge, and their skill at writing concise annotations. I am grateful to them all and extend my heartfelt thanks. Patricia M. Dashiell, The Ohio State University Laura E.

Owing to the legacy of Japanese Imperialism, Korea had a shameful past. When two nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan to surrender unconditionally during the War in the Pacific in 1945, people in the United States suddenly felt compassion and sympathy for the Japanese due to the explosions and loss of life. Crucially though, internationally, few people are aware of Japanese colonialism and the atrocious acts committed against Koreans. Year of Impossible Goodbyes is a novel about the plight of Koreans during the period of Japanese colonial rule, and the Koreans peoples' yearning for freedom. This paper studies five symbolic icons representing the freedom, identity and pride of Korean traditional culture and history, and examines how the Korean traditional patriarchal system or family system disintegrated because of Japanese colonial imperialism. This paper outlines how the colonial period school curriculum yielded educational products promoting a transition to the communist ideologies of 'Mother Russia' without clearing away the vestiges of Japanese colonialism, and traces the journey of the heroine who comes to the South seeking for freedom from the Russian communists and the Town Reds in the North. (Chonbuk National University) Key Words: Korean identity, Japanese colonialism, atrocious acts, Russian communism, freedom I.

    482–483 Chapter 16/EH 10/17/02 1:12 PM Page 482 BASED VERY CLOSELY on the life of its author, Sook Nyul Choi, Echoes of the White Giraffe is the story of a 15-year-old Korean girl, Sookan. As the war between North Korea and South Korea rages, Sookan, her mother, and her younger brother, Inchun, are forced to flee their home in Seoul. They become separated from Sookan’s father and older brothers. Sookan, her mother, and Inchun find shelter at a settlement for war refugees in Pusan, a city in southern Korea. There, Sookan slowly begins to make friends, including Junho, a boy who sings with her in a church choir. “ s that a picture of your dog?” Junho asked, looking at the pencil sketch of I Luxy that rested on top of the bookcase. “You must miss it very much. .” “Oh that,” I said, flustered and surprised. “Yes, that’s my boxer, Luxy.” I missed my dog, but I hadn’t talked about her with anyone since we left Seoul. I frequently thought of how Luxy used to wait eagerly at the top of the stone steps in front of our house for me to come home from school. Then, at night, she would sleep at the foot of my bed. But I never talked of Luxy, for I was afraid that people might think I was childish and insensitive to mourn the loss of my dog when so many people were dead or miss- ing. Junho was different, though . sharing my sadness. ...I stared at Luxy’s picture, and I imagined how scared she must have felt when we all abandoned her.

    American Book Awards 2004

    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

    Curriculum Materials for Teaching About Korea: the Korea Society’S Grades 1-12 Curriculum Package

    Curriculum Materials for Teaching about Korea: The Korea Society’s Grades 1-12 Curriculum Package Reviewed by Mary E. Connor In 2001 Yong Jin Choi, the Director of the Korea Society’s Korean Studies Program received the Franklin R. Buchanan Award from the Association for Asian Studies. As Coordinating Editor, she developed outstanding curriculum materials on Korea. They consist of three separate books – elementary, middle, and high school – covering grade- appropriate topics, such as architecture, art, culture, customs, economics, history, geography, Koreans abroad, literature, women and unification. The three books reflect Choi’s dream to make Korea visible in American schools. They demonstrate the combined efforts of dedicated teachers to make it a reality. Each book contains high interest units that include clear objectives, step-by-step directions, imaginative activities, reproducible materials, follow up ideas and assessment. The elementary lesson book, Korea: Lessons for Elementary School, incorporates nine teaching units. The units feature activities on the geography of Korea, a trip to Korea, cultural customs, loss of important things in life, symbols as history, trade, the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics, visual arts and storytelling. The lessons are designed to introduce young children to the rich and colorful traditions of Korea and to prepare them for life in a multicultural society. In the lesson, “Let’s Go to Korea!” children simulate procedures for traveling to another country, such as obtaining a passport, researching places that they might visit, creating an itinerary, making airline reservations, deciding what to pack, learning about currency exchange and some essential words in a foreign language. Another lesson, “Cultural Customs in Korea,” allows a student to learn not only about customs in Korea, but also to understand the different customs of other classmates.

    Literature Catalyst Reading and Reacting to Reading for Advanced Readers the Year of Impossible Goodbyes Sook Nyul Choi

    Literature Catalyst Reading and Reacting to Reading for Advanced Readers The Year of Impossible Goodbyes Sook Nyul Choi What is a Literature Catalyst? A Literature Catalyst is a guide for teachers to use with advanced readers individually, within a small group, or as a whole class. The guide provides suggestions for helping advanced readers experience the elements of the World Class Reader Model: Loving to Read; Learning to Read; Reading to Learn, and Reading to Serve. A Literature Catalyst is not a book study unit, but is a set of ideas that can be used singly or in combination to help advanced readers read and react to their reading—focusing on reading as an emotional, practical, intellectual, and social experience. Book Description Content Summary. It is 1945, and the Japanese military has taken over Korea. Under the cruel occupation, ten-year-old Sookan’s world is torn apart. Sookan must wear a uniform and attend a Japanese school. When the war finally ends, North Korea is taken over again, this time by Communist Russia. Sookan and her family know that their only hope lies in a dangerous escape to American-controlled South Korea. Here is the incredible story of one family’s love for each other and their determination to risk everything to find freedom. (Excerpted from the book jacket) Interest Impetus. This book is a multiple award winner, including being named an ALA Notable Children’s Book. The story casts a girl in a heroic role while giving a unique view of Korean life and culture and the damage associated with military occupations.
