The chapters cover Japanese colonial Korea, the divided Korean Peninsula, representations of the Korean War, North Korean elementary education, South Korea’s textbooks for overseas Koreans, \u003cem\u003eChongryon\u003c\/em\u003e schools in Japan, Korean language textbooks for Thai students, and ethnic Korean education in China. Across these settings, the book shows how textbooks have promoted colonial assimilation, Cold War division, anti-communism, leader-centred devotion, cultural diplomacy, diasporic nationalism, soft power, and ethnic assimilation. By combining critical discourse analysis, visual analysis, comparative textbook studies, and theories of nationalism, this volume demonstrates how textbooks shape children’s understanding of history, authority, culture, citizenship, and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlighting the ideological importance of omissions, silences, and marginalised perspectives this will be valuable resource to students and scholars interested in the fields of education, nationalism, diaspora, language education, and East Asian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDong Bae Lee\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Korean Studies and Co-Director of the Korean Studies Centre at the University of Queensland, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaylor \u0026amp; Francis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781041353683\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e262\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63547556855948,"sku":"9781041353683","price":210.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781041353683","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
