Description

<p>The Library of the General Government of Korea was established in April 1925, but it had issued no official gazette until October 1935. Chōsen-no-toshokan, a magazine published by the library staff, is the only material available for researching on the imperial library's historical role in Korea under Japan's occupation. Not surprisingly we can know from the magazine how the library worked within the ideological framework of imperialism. But we can also know from the same magazine how it inadvertently transgressed the framework with unexpected effects on Korean users. Thus the function of the library was determined not only by the dominant ideology of imperialism but also by struggles and negotiations among diverse social sectors.</p>
