| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Simply considered pro-DPRK schools today, Choson (Korean) schools in Japan originated as non-partisan Korean-language schools for all Korean minorities in Japan in 1945, immediately after the liberation of the Korean peninsula from Japanese colonialism. After years of assimilationist colonial policies, the aim of these schools was to teach Korean language and culture to Korean children remaining in Japan.
Despite these difficulties, students at Choson schools remain optimistic. And parents who want their children to grow up “Korean” continue to support Choson schools. Based on my own participant observation at the Aichi Choson School since 2011, I explore what is behind students’ and parents’ motivations in supporting Choson schools, and what the Korean “homeland” means to them in light of widespread aversion of the DPRK in Japanese society
