¡"Zainichi" Wo Ikiru Aru Shijin No Toso Shi(Shueisha Shinsho)
¡Kimushijon / Cho Sa Takanobu / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] Born in Busan, Korea during the Japanese colonial period, poet Kim Ji-jong grew up as an ardent imperial boy. On August 15, 1945, after Japan's defeat in the war, he realized his own split identity, where he could only feel the color of words in the forced Japanese language. Kim then escaped from the horrific oppression on Jeju Island that broke out under the military regime after the Korean War, and came to live in Japan. The rebellious writer Makoto Sataka tells the history of his resistance and creative struggles as a poet and teacher who has crossed the divide with his hometown, the North-South fault line in zainichi society, discrimination, and many other historical crucibles. This is a postwar history of an Issei zainichi's struggle for expression that raises the meaning of living "zainichi" in modern Japan, where hate incidents continue unabated.
