Author Bruce Cumings wrote several informative texts, helping others to learn about ancient and modern Korea. I recommend his 1997 text, "Korea's Place in the Sun," published by W.W. Norton & Co.
Chapters in Cumings' book feature explanation of how many different Eastern and Western forces shaped two Koreas. Readers will learn the effects of waves of Imperialism, aimed at "opening" the Korean peninsula, in some ways diluting long-held virtues.
Influences of the Colonial Period are still apparent, especially among older Koreans. Consider the potential of the 2018 Winter Games to alter how the World perceives this industrious post-war economy, now one of the largest! Conceptions are being challenged during these successful Winter Games.
