Published by the Royal Asiatic Society's Korean branch, this book deals with the activities and hidden stories of North American missionaries in Korea between 1884 and 1934, when Korea was still under Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945). Missionaries in Korea sought to achieve the ideal of identification and overcome cultural barriers in order to transmit the Christian message properly. Although most missionaries failed in this attempt due to the world views and ideologies of the cultures from which they emerged, some of them overcame the constraints of their culture and in some cases moved fast those limitations in order to identify with local people and in the process sharpen their perception of the cultural structuring of their own lives. This book is composed of six chapters: "Locating Missionaries: Ideologies, Institutions the Call to Korea," "Establishing Missionary Identity in Korea," "Forget You Are Americans," "Old Maids, Bachelors, Spouses and Parent: The Challenge of Home and Family," "Doctors, Nurses, Teachers and Preachers: The Challenge of Missionary Occupation," and "American Missionaries - Korean Christianity: The Challenge of National Identity." |
