Asian & Asian American Studies. This anthology is a compilation of Westerners' accounts of their visits to Korea, originally published in books or newspapers before the country opened its doors in the late nineteenth century. The opening of Korea made it possible to explore the country in detail and write detailed accounts. Prior impressions were garnered mostly from brief visits to remote islands along the coast. The accounts published here are mainly anecdotal, and contain many generalizations. However, the accumulated impressions of these early encounters surely influenced the perspectives of later travelers, and help explain the overwhelmingly negative image of Korea that Western governments harbored at the time.The book can serve as a useful resource for studying Korea's early interactions with the outside world, and will give readers an idea of the criteria by which Westerners judged the foreign other. 606 $aEast and West 606 $aEast and West$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00901090 606 $aEmigration and immigration$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00908690 606 $aManners and customs$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01007815 606 $aTravel$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01155558 607 $aKorea$xSocial life and customs$y1392-1910 607 $aKorea$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aEast and West. 615 7$aEast and West. 615 7$aEmigration and immigration. 615 7$aManners and customs. 615 7$aTravel. 676 $a951.902 702 $aAnthony$cof Taize?, Brother,$f1942- 702 $aNeff$b Robert 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792685803321 996 $aBrief encounters$91740792 997 $aUNINA
