Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2006, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The study of modern Korean history, which includes the Japanese colonial era, began to come into its own at the beginning of the 1980s. Since then, enthusiasm for the study of modern Korean history has continued unabated, with two hundred and fifteen papers on the Japanese colonial era produced in 1997 alone.1 This number grew to two hundred and forty in 1999, constituting a 10% increase over the previous year’s output.
