Description

This Routledge history explores the Paekjong, the lowest social caste in traditional Korean society, and their fight for equality during Japanese colonial rule. The book traces the rigidly hierarchical shinbun class system of the Choson period and examines how the Paekjong, historically treated as outcasts, mobilised for human rights through the Hyongpyongsa (Association for an Equitable Society). Active from approximately 1923 to 1935, the Hyongpyongsa represented the longest-lasting social movement in colonial Korea, generating significant confrontations that challenged entrenched social structures. This scholarly work combines historical context with social analysis to illuminate the experiences and activism of a marginalised group seeking dignity and recognition in early twentieth-century Korea.
