It views the history of modern Korea exclusively within the context of ethnic nationalism . . . [T]his book fills an important gap in social sciences and history within Korean studies regarding the development and effect of Korean nationalism. Taking Korea as a case study this work also represents a significant contribution to research on nationalism, showing that a particular ethnic nationalism has contributed partly towards a positive political and social development.\" -- Hee Seok Park * \u003ci\u003eInternational Quarterly for Asian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"This compelling empirical study is another important contribution from Gi-wook Shin. The sophisticated, balanced and nuanced treatment he brings to bear . . . will make it a valuable resource for political scientists, sociologists, cultural anthropologists, and, indeed, all who seek to understand the complex and elusive phenomenon that is nationalism.\" -- \u003ci\u003eNew Zealand Journal of Asian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[O]ne of the first scholarly works to scrutinize and historicize the ethnic nationalism that most Koreans, and observers of Korea, usually take for granted. As such, \u003ci\u003eEthnic Nationalism in Korea\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable, critical case study of one of the most ethnically 'pure' nation-states in the world, a study that holds many interesting and useful implications.\" -- \u003ci\u003eAmerican Journal of Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"When the multidisciplinary discussion of nationalism was in its heyday a decade or two ago, I remember some frustration that the Korean instance was not considered more prominently. With \u003ci\u003eEthnic Nationalism in Korea\u003c\/i\u003e, Gi-Wook Shin sets out to remedy this situation. The resulting combination of theoretical engagement and broad macro-historical and sociological perspective on the phenomenon of Korean identification based on notions of 'bloodline and shared ancestry' (p. 2) makes the book perhaps the first text to recommend to those students or colleagues with comparative interests.\" -- \u003ci\u003eKorean Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:Figures and Tables\tiii  Acknowledgments\tiii  @toc2:Introduction: Explaining the Roots and Politics of   Korean Nationalism\t1  @toc1:Part I\tOrigins and Development\t000  @toc2:1\tPan-Asianism and Nationalism\t000  2\tColonial Racism and Nationalism\t000  3\tInternational Socialism and Nationalism\t000  4\tNorth Korea and \"Socialism of Our Style\"\t000  5\tIlmin Chuui and \"Modernization of the Fatherland\"  \t000  @toc1:Part II\tContentious Politics\t000  @toc2:6\tUniversalism and Particularism in Nation Building  \t000  7\tTradition, Modernity, and Nation\t000  8\tDivision and Politics of National Representation\t000  9\tNation, History, and Politics\t000  @toc1:Part III\tCurrent Manifestations\t000  @toc2:10\tEthnic Identity and National Unification\t000  11\tBetween Nationalism and Globalization\t000  Conclusion: Genealogy, Legacy, and Future\t000  @toc4:Appendix 1: Coding Standards on Textbooks\t000  Appendix 2: Coding Standards on Magazines\t000  Appendix 3: Findings of Statistical Analyses\t000  Notes\t000  Works Cited\t000  Index\t000","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884660633943,"sku":"9780804754071","price":74.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804754071.jpg?v=1722532907","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ethnic-nationalism-in-korea-9780804754071","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
