Korean immigration to Hawaii provides a striking glimpse of the inner workings of Yidynasty Korea in its final decade. It is a picture of confusion, functionalism, corruption, oppression, and failure of leadership at all levels of government. Patterson suggests that the weakness of the Korean government on the issue of emigration made it easier for Japanese imperialism to succeed in Korea. He also revises the standard interpretation of Japanese foreign policy by suggestion that prestigethe need to prevent the United States from passing a Japanese exclusion actas well as security was a motivating factor in the establishment of a protectorate over Korea in 1905. In the process he uncovers a heretofore hidden link between Japanese imperialism in Korea and JapaneseAmerican relations at the turn of the century.The author has made extensive use of archival materials in Korea, Japan, Hawaii, and Washington, D.C. in researching a subject that has been neglected both in the United States and Korea. The study presents new information on the subject along with a keen analysis and innovative interpretation in a readable and accessible style. The work will be of significant value to specialists in Korean history, KoreanAmerican relations, Japanese history, JapaneseKorean relations, U.S.Japanese relations, Hawaiian history, and U.S. diplomatic history.
