Reviews

‘This insightful monograph brilliantly uncovers the intricate politics and power dynamics depicted within the Korean-language textbooks of both Koreas. Through a meticulous examination of these educational resources, the author demonstrates how political leaders effectively establish and validate their ruling ideologies. As a result, this book is poised to captivate scholars from a diverse range of regions, including the United States, the former Soviet Union, China, Japan, as well as the two Koreas.’ Changzoo Song, Senior Lecturer in Korean & Asian Studies, University of Auckland ‘Dong Bae Lee’s research on Korean language textbooks represents a significant and groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of politics, ideology, and the school textbooks. Using data from two rival countries, it shows unique examples on how political ruling ideologies influence school knowledge, and foster different national identities and nationalism.’ Lee Soojin, Daegu National University of Education
