  • Joseonhakgyo, Learning Under North Korean Leadership: Transitioning from 1970 to Present*
    https://doi.org/10.33728/ijkus.2020.29.1.007 International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 29, No. 1, 2020, 161-188. Joseonhakgyo, Learning under North Korean Leadership: Transitioning from 1970 to Present* Min Hye Cho** This paper analyzes English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used during North Korea’s three leaderships: 1970s, 1990s and present. The textbooks have been used at Korean ethnic schools, Joseonhakgyo (朝鮮学校), which are managed by the Chongryon (總聯) organization in Japan. The organization is affiliated with North Korea despite its South Korean origins. Given North Korea’s changing influence over Chongryon’s education system, this study investigates how Chongryon Koreans’ view on themselves has undergone a transition. The textbooks’ content that have been used in junior high school classrooms (students aged between thirteen and fifteen years) are analyzed. Selected texts from these textbooks are analyzed critically to delineate the changing views of Chongryon Koreans. The findings demonstrate that Chongryon Koreans have changed their perspective from focusing on their ties to North Korea (1970s) to focusing on surviving as a minority group (1990s) to finally recognising that they reside permanently in Japan (present). Keywords: EFL textbooks, Korean ethnic school, minority education, North Koreans in Japan, North Korean leadership ** Acknowledgments: The author would like to acknowledge the generous and thoughtful support of the staff at Hagusobang (Chongryon publishing company), including Mr Nam In Ryang, Ms Kyong Suk Kim and Ms Mi Ja Moon; Ms Malryo Jang, an English teacher at Joseonhakgyo; and Mr Seong Bok Kang at Joseon University in Tokyo. They have consistently provided primary resource materials, such as Chongryon EFL textbooks, which made this research project possible.

  • Reactionary Nationalism and Democratic Development in Myanmar and Japan Apichai W
    Policy Forum Reactionary Nationalism and Democratic Development in Myanmar and Japan Apichai W. Shipper1* Nationalism has reemerged as a major issue in Asia, where thousands of ethnic groups live inside national boundaries artificially constructed by Western colonizers. While other Asian societies are witnessing various forms of nationalism, Myanmar and Japan are experiencing reactionary nationalism, which is making negative headlines around the world. I define “reactionary nationalism” as a demonstration of love for the nation among a group of ordinary people in reaction to a perceived, falsely constructed, or real threat to its national security or existence from an ethnic minority or foreigner group. It arises from a dissatisfaction with modernization that is accompanied by increasing economic and social inequality. Reactionary nationalists seek to punish specific ethnic minorities or foreigner groups that act in ways perceived as destroying their collective political community or as undermining their common identity or national unity. They view the targeted ethnic group with prejudice for receiving special privileges or assistance from the government or the international aid community. While demonstrating their love for the country, they often incite hatred against a particular minority or foreigner group. Reactionary nationalists in both the heterogeneous society of Myanmar and the homogeneous society of Japan have formed hate groups comprised of Buddhist nationalists and internet ultra-rightists (netto uyoku), respectively. I argue that these particular nationalist groups hinder democratic development in their countries, because democracies require respect for individual political rights and for differences in culture (beliefs and identities) between individuals and groups. Reactionary nationalist groups espouse undemocratic ideals and ethnic violence against minority groups.

  • Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination
    Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination UNCRC Alternative Report to the 5th Periodic Report for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) September 2017 Submitted by People for Successful COrean REunification (PSCORE) Table of Contents Summary/Objective 2 Methodology 3 “Free” Education 4 Unchecked and Unmonitored: Physical Abuse in Schools 6 Forced Manual Labor during School 7 Mandatory Collections 8 Ideology and Education 9 Recommendation 12 References 13 1 Summary/Objective The goal of this report is for the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to strongly consider the DPRK’s deplorable educational system at the 76th Pre-Sessional Working Group. A great number of reprehensible offenses have been committed by the DPRK against children’s education. Falsely advertised “free” education, unchecked corporal punishment and abuse in school, and forced manual labor in place of time in the classroom are the most notable, and will all be detailed in this report. But the most severe injustice is the content of the DPRK’s education, which is all geared to either overtly or covertly instill fear and hate into the minds of the state’s youngest and most impressionable minds. Education in the DPRK is filled with historical distortion and manipulative teachings that serve the state’s rulers, instilling a reverence for the DPRK’s government and leaders and a hatred toward any people or ideas that are not in alignment with the government’s. Education should be truthful and promote the values of peace, tolerance, equality, and understanding (General Comment No. 1, Article 29).

    United Nations A/60/749 General Assembly Distr.: General 12 April 2006 Original: English Sixtieth session Agenda items 69 and 71 Elimination of racism and racial discrimination Human rights questions Letter dated 12 April 2006 from the Permanent Representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Japanese authorities are stepping up provocative actions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on a new scale. The right-wing reactionary forces in Japan are calling for sanctions and fanning up hostile sentiments against the DPRK over the “abduction issue” which was already resolved, while kicking up sweeping repression on the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon). At the instigation of the intelligence agencies of the U.S. and Japan and other right-wing conservative forces, anti-DPRK units and individuals under the cloak of “non-governmental organizations” abducted citizens of the DPRK in the name of humanity. In this regard, the Ministry of People’s Security of the DPRK has issued warrants for the arrest of those Japanese individuals concerned. Recent undisguised anti-DPRK manoeuvres of Japan constitute a flagrant violation of all international human rights instruments, in particular General Assembly resolution 60/251, which created the Human Rights Council. I enclose herewith the statement of the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the answer by the spokesman of the Ministry of People’s Security for your information (see annexes I and II). I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annexes circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 69 and 71 of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly.

    Volume 13 | Issue 13 | Number 3 | Article ID 4303 | Mar 30, 2015 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Juche in the United States: The Black Panther Party’s Relations with North Korea, 1969-1971 アメリカにおけるチュチェ （主体性）思想 ブラック・パンサー党と北朝鮮、1969-1971 Benjamin Young Third World revolution, and a mutual antagonism toward American intervention around the world. Although the U.S. government forbade its citizens from travelling to North Korea, BPP leader Eldridge Cleaver along with other Panthers bypassed travel restrictions and visited North Korea to join anti-imperialist journalist conferences in 1969 and 1970. In North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the Panthers found a new ideology and a government that was critical of the U.S. government. The Panthers established an alliance with North Korean leaders who they recognized as an independent force within the world communist movement. They believed that the "Black colony" inside the United States could learn from the DPRK's self-reliant stance in political, economic, and cultural matters. This study adds to recent scholarship on the global influence of the BPP and opens a new field of inquiry, as the BPP-North Korean relationship has not been analyzed in-depth. Introduction Kim Il Sung, Juche.
