Reviews
-
At a time when all eyes are on East Asian societies and cultures, Dong Bae Lee's study of Korean language textbooks is major contribution to our understanding of the formation of modern Korean culture and identity, nation and ideology. It is an exemplar of the possibilities for the critical analysis of textbook narratives and images.
