The Politics of Korean Language Textbooks in the Two Koreas Nationalism, Ideologies and Education

"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."
