책 소개

A bestseller that shook both Japan and South Korea, the English edition has finally arrived!

Amid the strained relationship between Japan and South Korea, a groundbreaking book caused a great sensation in South Korea. Later, the Japanese edition was also published, and "Anti-Japan Tribalism," swiftly rose to become a bestseller in both countries. The book is written by former Seoul National University professor and current president of Syngman Rhee Academy, Rhee Young-hoon, alongside concerned scholars and journalists who feel a sense of crisis about the current situation. They provide evidence-based arguments built on empirical historical research on issues such as comfort women, forced recruitment, and the Dokdo dispute, exposing the "fabricated history" prevalent in Korea.

What distinguishes this book from typical publications criticizing Korea's anti-Japanese views is its meticulous approach. Experts in economic history scrutinized primary sources and compiled the verified facts according to their conscience. As a result, significant falsehoods in the historical perception that has dominated Korea on various aspects of historical issues have been revealed. Years of education based on these distortions have led many people in Korea to accept the distorted historical perception as the truth, fueling anti-Japan sentiments. An intolerant 'tribalism,' a form of ethnic nationalism, that forcibly excludes dissenting opinions pervades Korea and serves as the root cause of the crisis in Korea and its relations with Japan.

Written by scholars with a deep love for the Republic of Korea and in hopes for the improvement of the Japan-Korea relations, this book is indeed a book of patriotism.
