Review Quotes:

"The volume adds[s] significantly to knowledge of colonial Korea. The essays are particularly provocative in the questions they raise about laws and policies--most notably, village consolidation, the Peace Preservation Law, and thought conversion--that were applied to both Japan and Korea but with very different results."
