Learning so much from this excellent new book by Shinyoung Kwon! It's rare to get a study of Korean history so transwar in scope, masterfully examining how institutions and logics of colonial-era authoritarianism persisted into newly-created North and South Korea.

Sincere thanks also to Philip Brown (OSU): "Border of Water and Ice distinguishes itself through its multilingual breadth and nuanced analysis of the interactions of environment, economic exchange, and individual and state action in a complex border region."

Many thanks to @mmuscolino.bsky.social for the kind blurb of my book! "In rich detail, Border of Water and Ice demonstrates the tenuous and environmentally contingent nature of Japanese imperial governance of the Yalu River"

If there was a shred of "truth" to Rufo's posturing, one might expect Harvard's WWII-atrocity-denying Prof. J. Mark Ramseyer to be quaking in his boots. But, of course, that is not the world we live in and they part of the same anti-"Woke" grift. Here's a real scandal: apjjf.org/2023/21/11/C...

My daughter got Animal Crossing for Christmas. Watching cute animal avatars colonize an "uninhabited island," I couldn't help but think of Paul Kreitman's new book. See this excellent essay by Amy Stanley for more on AC's inadvertent connections to empire: www.amy-stanley.com/blog-1/on-an...

Thanks David! It might have been a very different book had it not been for that fateful conversation at Thai Cafe in Sep 2014 when you first planted some of the ideas in my head!

Thanks! The title is a mouthful, but then again there is so much going on in that region at the time! Something you would definitely understand as a fellow borderlands historian...

My students and I recently examined these c. 18th-19th century Korean maps of Korea, Ryukyu (Okinawa), and Japan from UVA's Fralin Museum of Art. They noted the prominence of geographical features like rivers and mountains on the Korea map. Lake Omi (Biwa) also gets prominent placement in Japan.

Very excited to host Sixiang Wang (UCLA) at UVA this Friday for a presentation on his new book on Ming-Chosŏn relations. A monument of scholarship and one of the best Korean Studies books to come out in a long time.
