We will consider the unique shape of Korean civilization as it has been impacted by its larger neighbors: China, in traditional times, and Japan, in the twentieth century. Along the way, we will examine literature materials illustrative of Korean elite values, popular religion and family structure. The course will consist of four parts: Korean history; thought and religion; literature; contemporary society.

Topics to be examined are: Korea's entry into the modern world; the nature of Japanese colonial rule; Korean nationalist and socialist movements; the Korean war; and problems related to economic development.
