Heritage Management in Korea and Japan

"The selection and valorization of heritage sites and themes is never neutral, but is packed with judgments derived from the worldviews and values of the choosers. This book’s aim is to expose in great detail this know process in a relatively unexamined geographic sphere–that of East Asia and specifically the regions colonized by Japan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries."

"Heritage Management in Korea and Japan is detailed and highly informative"

~Alexis Dudden, Journal of Asian Studies

"I highly recommend this book to scholars and graduate students in Korean studies, Asian studies, museum studies, and those interested in post-colonialism in general."

~Kyung Hyo Chun, Pacific Affairs

"Pai’s scholarly work will be an excellent guidebook to understanding how state authorities in East Asia (and elsewhere) manipulate historical memory. All scholars, students, and ordinary people interested in nationalism in East Asia will find her analysis intriguing and insightful."

~Takashi Yoshida, Monumenta Nipponica
