After Empire's Demise: The Postcolonial Remaking of Seoul's Public Spaces -- Notes -- Selected Bibliography -- IndexAssimilating Seoul, the first book-length study written in English about Seoul during the colonial period, challenges conventional nationalist paradigms by revealing the intersection of Korean and Japanese history in this important capital. Through microhistories of Shinto festivals, industrial expositions, and sanitation campaigns, Todd A. Henry offers a transnational account that treats the city's public spaces as "contact zones," showing how residents negotiated pressures to become loyal, industrious, and hygienic subjects of the Japanese empire. Unlike previous, top-down analyses, this ethnographic history investigates modalities of Japanese rule as experienced from below. Although the colonial state set ambitious goals for the integration of Koreans, Japanese settler elites and lower-class expatriates shaped the speed and direction of assimilation by bending government initiatives to their own interests and identities. Meanwhile, Korean men and women of different classes and generations rearticulated the terms and degree of their incorporation into a multiethnic polity. Assimilating Seoul captures these fascinating responses to an empire that used the lure of empowerment to disguise the reality of alienation.Asia Pacific modern ;12.Public spacesSocial aspectsKorea (South)SeoulHistory20th centuryKoreansCultural assimilationKorea (South)SeoulHistory20th centurySeoul (Korea)History20th centurySeoul (Korea)Ethnic relationsHistory20th centuryKoreaHistoryJapanese occupation, 1910-1945alienation.asian history.assimilation.city spaces.civic assimilation.class and nation.colonial capital.colonial period.colonial state.colonialism.contact zones.conventional nationalist paradigms.empire.ethnographic history.government initiatives.historical.imperialism.industrial.japanese history.japanese imperialism.japanese rule.korea.korean history.material assimilation.multiethnic polity.postcolonial.public spaces.sanitation.seoul.shinto festivals.spiritual assimilation.transnational.Public spacesSocial aspectsHistoryKoreansCultural assimilationHistory951.95HIS003000bisacshHenry Todd A.1972-1493245MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790995003321Assimilating Seoul3716129UNINA
