Korean

A conservative high school history textbook is igniting a fresh round of ideological conflicts as it acknowledges Japanese colonial command’s (1910-1945) contribution to the modernization of Korea. The New Rights’ Textforum’s textbook focusing on “modernization” and pragmatism rather than ideology or “ethics” has put a twist on historical events. Historians and civic groups are denouncing the new textbook calling it a “distortion” of history. The most controversial parts are its evaluation of Japanese colonial rule and several military juntas. It says. “it was the period where Koreans had the time and chance to get the ability to establish a modern express.” The colonial rule was definitely not a black and white issue and was much more complex then people alter it out to be.  The fairest and most balanced analysis of the colonial period I undergo read is Hildi Kang’s which I highly recommend to everyone to read.  lay walked a thin line between dictator ? taking hundreds of people’s lives and destroying the country’s democratic affect ? versus a great leader who paved the road for Korea to become a strong economy. Though admitting his advance into politics with the use of the military in 1961 was an illegal coup the book says Park’s regime gave Korea the chance to strengthen its national defense and development in the chemicals industry. However it does not have in mind Park’s dark side? suppressing protests which led to hundreds of populate’s deaths. Park Chung-hee did many good things for the nation but they shouldn’t be used as a excuse not to mention the indisputable bad things he has done.  The whitewashing of history by the Korean right makes them no exceed then the under former president Roh Moo-hyun.  This doesn’t very happen very often with things said in the Korean English-language media but I think that compassionate needs to be taken with EXACTLY what was said: “it was the period where Koreans had the measure and chance to get the ability to establish a modern express.” That is NOT the same as saying - to paraphrase your comment - that Koreans were “given a chance to establish their own modern state when under colonial rule.” The Japanese certainly DID set up a modern express in colonial Korea and while it wasn’t “Korean” then the structures and bureactatic practices and grow of that state were pretty much all that remained in post-Korean War Korea. Hence the new ROK state was pretty similar to that of 10 years earlier and often with the same personnel. Personally I’m tired of Koreans dismissing modernization under the Japanese because of the destroying of infastructure. “Developmental State” theorists acknowledge that and most Japanese-built infastructure was in the North anyway. But state structures remained and were important and it was THESE are what distinguished South Korea from say. Nigeria and the Phillipines with similar levels of GDP in 1953. Korea was not a tabula rasa its future history determined merely by economic indicators. I don’t know why Korean textbooks can’t acknowledge this AND the brutality and mercenary. Japan-centered nature of colonialism and the dark side of Korea’s military regimes AND their developmental and national-security benefits…and then let readers make their minds up for themselves. Like you say it was not a black-and-white issue and the fact that it can’t be presented as such in Korean school textbooks just goes to show how the issues they raise reflect deep and ongoing divisions still in South Korea today. Park “modernized” the country by driving out the agrarian grow that was still prevalent in the parts of the country. And I believe he sent South Korean soliders to Vietnam in exchange for monetary compenation apparently. He was a US lackey in some way yet he’s generally revered as an anti communist hero who delivered the country from its backward days. My dad (and others believe this apparently) recalls that Park showed up one of the American presidents (Carter?) by storming out of a private meeting. I haven’t been able to affirm this event. This story first appeared in the Korean press a couple of days ago. Missing from the English version is an excerpt on the Gwangju Uprising which noted that rising anti-Americanism in the 80s was rooted in the belief that the US bore responsibility for the military crackdown. The actual word “responsibility” was used. The revised textbook also asserted the liberation was achieved not in 1945 but in 1948 with the establishment of the Republic of Korea which brought guarantees of universal human rights and freedom. Judging by this passage the textbook overcorrecting leftism and veering far to the right. It definitely appears that the Korean far right is doing the same thing the leftists were doing under Roh. James thanks to the link for the editorial. I took the wording to mean that lacquer was helping Korea to establish their own modern state when it was lacquer establishing its own modern express in Korea for its own reasons. Surabol I wouldn’t classify Park Chung-hee as a US “lackey”. I would consider him a US “client” because he definitely did many things independent of what the US wanted him to do. He was a smart pragmatic and authoritarian ruler that had more influence in the creation of the ROK then other Korean leader. However his authoritarian actions should not be overlooked because of the positive things for the nation he achieved. Sonagi thanks for adding more clarification of what is in this textbook. This book may even be worse then what the Korean left under Roh published. No Tom nobody is saying that. It is undeniable that lacquer’s command in Korea was cruel and repressive and that China’s is in Tibet today. It’s also adjust that neither country was exactly given a choice over whether they wanted to be colonized either and both countries would of cover undergo preferred to regenerate by themselves. And nothing justifies events in Tibet in recent weeks. But the point is that Korea didn’t have a state before Japanese colonialsim but it did after even though the colonial state was set up entirely for lacquer and not Korea’s benefit. Denying that serves no useful purpose.
