Abstract

"A local guide to the hottest city in Asia. What's the best way to tour around a foreign city? Unless you want to pilgrim through the obvious landmarks and take typical vacation shots at tourist restaurants, the best and the safest way would be to get help from a reliable local friend, especially if you plan to explore a newly emerging city in constant change like Seoul. But what if you don't have a reliable friend in Seoul? A CURATED GUIDE: SEOUL, put together by a local editor and expat authors, will gladly be your friend."--Amazon.com. "Seoul -- huge, diverse, ever-changing ... Put together by Seoul Selection's seasoned team of editors, writers and photographers, this guide shares the very best Asia's hottest metropolis has to offer, from time-forsaken alleyways and ancient palaces to the city's trendiest hangouts. Curated selections of hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars and clubs help you decide where to sleep, eat, drink and party. But don't just take our word -- essays and interviews with locals provide deeper insight into one of the world's most exciting cities."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Assimilating 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.
