Publisher's Synopsis

Between 1876 and 1946 Korea opened its market to foreign powers, became subject to Japanese colonialism, and was swept into agricultural commercialisation, and industrialisation. Gi-Wook Shin examines how peasants responded to these events with protests that shaped the course of postwar revolution in the north and reform in the south.

About the Publisher

University of Washington Press

The Press traces its origins to 1915, when Edmond Meany's Governors of Washington, Territorial and State was issued. The first book to bear the University of Washington Press imprint, an edition of The Poems of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey edited by Frederick M. Padelford, appeared in 1920. Since that time the Press has published approximately 4,400 books, of which about 1,400 are currently in print. Today we publish about seventy new titles each year. From the beginning the Press has reflected the University's major academic strengths. Building on those strengths, combined with a vigorous creativity in developing regional partners, the University of Washington Press has achieved recognition as the leading publisher of scholarly books and distinguished works of regional nonfiction in the Pacific Northwest.
