Book Introduction
What you see isn't everything
It is indeed difficult to grasp the essence and true meaning of things from what is visible.
Girls growing up in colonies grew up surrounded by thick walls that hid the truth.
I want to clarify how the colony was viewed by girls in their education, relationships with peers, and family life at girls' schools.
Within the thick walls, the girls internalized the colonialism that gave them a sense of superiority over the Korean people.
Sometimes, the thick walls revealed a part of the truth through their distortions, and there were girls who glimpsed it.
With Japan's defeat, the power dynamics were reversed, and the Korean people's changed attitude forced them to accept the fact that they had been living as rulers and oppressors.
We examine how the colonizers responded to and reflected on the colonialism they internalized.
