This book investigates the politics embedded in the Korean-language textbooks utilised between 1895 and 2019, within the context of one Korea (pre-colonial and colonial eras), the divided Koreas, and an ethnic Korean group residing in Japan (Chongryon).By analysing the inclusions and omissions from Korean-language the author successfully highlights the impact of Korean politics, making clear how rulers have attempted to control their citizens and legitimize their rule by using primary school Korean-language textbooks as a medium for political education and inculcation. It succinctly displays how different visions of ‘ideal citizenship’ have been presented in Korea and traces the resulting shift in views towards neighbouring nations as a result, identifying how different rival countries were demonized at different times. This chapter also shows some consistent omissions, such as the lower classes and marginalized individuals within their respective nations.Presenting recommendations for potential improvements of the content of future textbooks this study will be of interest to students of Asian Studies, Post-colonial Studies, Critical Curriculum Studies, Critical Discourse Studies, and Korean Studies.

“Lee’s work offers new and exciting insights into Korean textbooks by comparing and contrasting Korean educational materials across diverse contexts. This volume will greatly enrich our understanding of educational policies, political ideologies, and identity formation in North Korea, South Korea, and Korean diasporic communities.”Andrew Jackson, Monash University, Australia. “This book offers a compelling and original account of how Korean and Korean-related textbooks shape nationalism, ideology, identity, and belonging across colonial, Cold War, diasporic, and contemporary contexts. Its comparative scope and critical analysis make it an important contribution to Korean studies, curriculum studies, and East Asian education scholarship worldwide.”Soojin Lee, Daegu National University of Education, Republic of Korea.
