MISSIONARY WORK. rTIHIS little book should not be closed without a word on missions. Other works on Korea were for the most part written prior to the occupation of that country as a mission field, or were the productions of men who had no special interest in the work of spreading the gospel. The missionaries and others who from occupation or from love for the Master have felt an interest in the religious welfare of the Korean nation have written, now and again, to periodicals such as The Independent of New York, giving isolated facts or the bearing of certain occurrences on the work of missions, or the yearly summaries of things accomplished. But the situation of missionaries, the disposition of the government and of the people toward Christianity, the receptivity of the population, the obstacles and limitations of missionary enterprise, have not been set forth in their correlations. And yet there is a very general interest among Americans concerning these matters. Wherever the writer has preached, and has mentioned that he has been in Korea, the request has come, "Tell us about the work there." Eager inquiry and pointed questioning have demonstrated that people want to know the status of Christianity in the hermit peninsula. The dramatic circumstances under cover of which Dr. Allen, by cautious and judicious action, aided by his medical knowledge and practice, secured an entrance and a sure footing for Christian work at the capital have heightened the feeling of interest. Those acquainted with the circumstances have remarked upon the providence of Dr. Allen's presence at the banquet when Min Yong Ik staggered in, bleeding from wounds inflicted by a wouldbe assassin. Nor has the dramatic element been entirely absent in the...

Download or read book South Korea in the Fast Lane written by Young-Iob Chung and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After having been a Japanese colony for more than 35 years until 1945, the miraculous economic development in the southern half of the Korean peninsula has multiplied the nation's output nearly 38 times and expanded per capita income by 16 times from $778 to $12,422 (in year 2000 prices) and transformed from basically an agrarian economy to that of a major industrial power, which is now considered one of a dozen or so of most industrialized countries in the world, during the 43-year period between 1953 and 1996. This book is a study of development of the South Korean economy from the time of the cessation of the Korean War to date, based on available data with minimal historical description, focusing on investment, the sources and means of capital formation, which is one of the most critical factors that contributed to economic development, and the government role of in them for economic growth and structural changes. The approach in this study is more analytical (without being mathematical, statistical, or technical, but with supporting quantitative data) than historical. There are a number of studies on some aspects of capital formation and economic development in short articles, but there is no comprehensive study/analysis/book of capital formation and economic development of South Korea since the Korean War, other than this authors comprehensive study of capital formation and economic transformation of Korea before 1945 (1876-1945). Not only this book fills the void of study of the subject after the Korean War but it also complement my first volume. This study reveals a number of significant, though perhaps not all unique, patterns and characteristics of capital formation and economic development of South Korea. The combination of circumstances, approaches, and experiences in the country was in many respects unique in comparison to many developing and developed countries, including many Asian countries, such as Japan and China.
Download or read book Capitalist Development in Korea written by Dae-oup Chang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the widely-held view that the East Asian "developmental state" is neutral in terms of the relationship between capital and labour – a benign co-operation between state officials and businessmen to organise economic development – this book argues that in fact the developmental state exists to promote the interests of capital over the interests of labour. Dae-oup Chang asserts that there has been a deliberate mystification concerning the reality of this process. This book presents a radical, Marxist critique of state development theory. It both explains the exploitative functions of the state, looking at the emergence of the particular form of capitalist state in the context of the formation and reproduction of capital relations in Korea; and also traces the origin and development of the process of mystification whereby the capitalist state has been characterised as the autonomous developmental state. In addition, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of labour relations in Korea both before and after the 1998 financial crisis, demonstrating continuing capital relations, state transition and class struggle.
Download or read book The Capitalist Unconscious written by Hyun Ok Park and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unification of North and South Korea is widely considered an unresolved and volatile matter for the global order, but this book argues capital has already unified Korea in a transnational form. As Hyun Ok Park demonstrates, rather than territorial integration and family union, the capitalist unconscious drives the current unification, imagining the capitalist integration of the Korean peninsula and the Korean diaspora as a new democratic moment. Based on extensive archival and ethnographic research in South Korea and China, The Capitalist Unconscious shows how the hegemonic democratic politics of the post-Cold War era (reparation, peace, and human rights) have consigned the rights of migrant laborers—protagonists of transnational Korea—to identity politics, constitutionalism, and cosmopolitanism. Park reveals the riveting capitalist logic of these politics, which underpins legal and policy debates, social activism, and media spectacle. While rethinking the historical trajectory of Cold War industrialism and its subsequent liberal path, this book also probes memories of such key events as the North Korean and Chinese revolutions, which are integral to migrants' reckoning with capitalist allures and communal possibilities. Casting capitalist democracy within an innovative framework of historical repetition, Park elucidates the form and content of the capitalist unconscious at different historical moments and dissolves the modern opposition among socialism, democracy, and dictatorship. The Capitalist Unconscious astutely explores the neoliberal present's past and introduces a compelling approach to the question of history and contemporaneity.

Download or read book Gyeongju written by Sarah Milledge Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gyeongju, the capital of the Kingdom of Silla, grew from a loose confederation of villages, called Saro, to become the capital of most of the Korean peninsula. Its relationships with Japan, the Eurasian Steppes, and countries along the Silk Road leading to Europe helped to make the city one of the most prosperous and significant in ancient East Asia. In this seminal new volume, Sarah Milledge Nelson draws on over 30 years’ experience to offer the first complete history of this fascinating city. Gyeongju explores culture, class and rank, industry, international relations, rulers, and socio-cultural issues such as gender, and examines in detail the complex systems of class and rank, Gyeongju’s position as the royal seat of Silla, and the influence and legacy of the ancient city. Excavations in Gyeongju have provided evidence not only of the wealth and power of the monarchy, but also of production and agriculture, and the reach of Gyeongju’s trade routes, making this city a fascinating case study for the region. Augmented with extensive maps and images which illustrate the city’s rich history, this volume is crucial reading for anyone interested in the city, the kingdom of Silla, the history and archaeology of Korea, and early urbanism and state formation in East Asia.

Download or read book Village Life in Korea written by Jacob Robert Moose and published by Virtuosi LLC. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivid and picturesque description of Korea in the dawn of the 20th century. Written by Rev. Jacob Robert Moose (1864-1928), an American missionary, who came to Korea in 1989 to serve the Korean mission fields for 25 years. Readers will be amused by the vitality of Korea depicted with love and affection a century ago. Village Life in Korea While one may find no less than a handful of books about Korea written in the turn of the century, Village Life in Korea written by Rev. Moose uniquely stands out for its empathetic storytelling of the commoners' life in Korean villages, drawn on the author's firsthand experience acquired among the people of Korea in the villages far removed from the outer world. The book tells a story on Korea and its people in such a way that the author shares it with a company composed of men, women, and children who are anxious to learn more about the untold stories of the nation which had been often referred to as the Hermit Kingdom until the late 19th century. After an insightful introduction to Korea in the opening chapters, • Geographical Sketch • Resources • Historical Sketch • The Capital the book begins to unroll its story on the village life. • The Village • The Village Family • The Village Inn The book, then, moves on to tell stories on the village people, so vividly that, while reading the next chapters, one may feel as if they were visiting the village back in time. • The Village Boy • The Village Gentleman • The Village Girl • The Village Woman • The Village School • The Village Farmer • The Village Mechanic • The Village Merchant • The Village Doctor • The Village Marriage • The Village Funeral • The Village Lawsuit The last chapters of the book are dedicated to religion, and most of all, to the evangelization of Korea, the cause to which the whole life of Rev. Moose was devoted. • The Village Religion • The Village Church • Some Members of the Village Church • What Christianity is Doing for the Village One may learn from the following excerpts from the final part of the book that Rev. Moose's belief in the evangelical enlightenment of Korea could be best attested by the miraculous development of Korea in the later part of the century. The key to the future of Korea may be found in the power which Christianity is now instilling into the lives of the village people. ... Let the villages in Korea become completely Christianized, and the future of a happy and prosperous people will be assured, regardless of who may hold the reins of power in the political realm. Virtuo Digital Edition The Virtuo Digital Edition by Virtuosi brings the all time classics of the past back to life with carefully revised contents and formats tailored for today's readers.
