Treacherous Translation

About the author

Serk-Bae Suh teaches Korean literature and culture at the University of California, Irvine.

Summary

Drawing on Korean and Japanese texts ranging from critical essays to short stories produced in the colonial and post-colonial periods, this book analyzes the ways in which Japanese colonial and Korean nationalist discourse pivoted on such concepts as language, literature, and culture.

Additional text

"Marvelously rich, thought-provoking ... The argument is exemplary in its clarity and sophistication and in its ability to smoothly meld complex political philosophy and close textual analysis—a tour de force."
