Japan-Korea Resource Hunt
I'm presently working on two projects involving Japan for upper-level undergrad social anthro courses and am floundering for a bit of assistance.
I'm hoping that somewhere out there in the scholarly void there's a decently readable ethnography of Zainichi Koreans (Koreans living in Japan) that's been written in the last twenty or thirty years. This is a lot to hope for, I know, but does anyone know of one? (I'm hoping to be able to write a short work of fiction from the perspective of a Zainichi Korean either in the present or recent past, ala Richter's The Light in the Forest.)
Also, here's the big one. I'm working on a paper discussing the correlation, or lack thereof, between the recent rise in popularity of Korean popular culture (ie, the Korean Wave, or hallyu) and both political relations between South Korea and Japan and the social view of SK among Japanese. Perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms in JSTOR or that's the completely wrong place to be looking, but I haven't been having much luck. Has anyone read any articles that could be in any way, shape, or form related to this subject? (I'm good at connecting the proverbial dots, all I need are the dots themselves to start analyzing.)
