The Korean Struggle for International Identity in the Foreground of the Shufeldt Negotiation, 1866-1882

The Korean Struggle for International Identity in the Foreground of the Shufeldt Negotiation, 1866-1882 places a special focus on how Koreans view themselves and the outside world, in particular China, Japan, and the United States. The book challenges the one-sided-Chinese and Japanese respectively-view of the Korea-China and Korea-Japan relationships, and brings the much-neglected Korean perspective to the forefront.
