Reviews

This is an important critique of west-centric progress worship in South Korea and a profound analysis of different modernization and development paths in East Asia, with comparisons of South Korea, Japan and China. A significant contribution to the East Asia literature and a good read. Jan Nederveen Pieterse, University of California, Santa Barbara This book keenly unravels very significant and under-represented aspects of Korean identity and world view in the modern era. One may barely grasp the Korean society and its development without reading this elaborate work. Gil-Sung Park, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Professor of Sociology, Korea University
