`조선사(朝鮮史)`의 서술과 역사지식 대중화 ― 황의돈(黃義敦)의『중등조선역사(中等朝鮮歷史)』를 중심으로 = Writing `Korean History` and Popularizing Historical Knowledge: Focusing on 『Jungdeung Joseon History』 by Hwang Ui Don

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

After the March First Independence Movement, as Japan switched to the cultural politics and implemented reconciliation policies, wider movements for the education of Korean history emerged. The 2nd Joseon Education Decree in 1922 also stimulated public demand for the education. This situation made it possible for Korean history books by Korean historians to be published. During 1923 and 1924, seven Korean history books were published. These books were divided into two groups-books by nationalist historians and books by pro-Japanese historians. Among the best known books is 『Sinpyeon Joseon History(新編朝鮮歷史)』 by Hwang Ui Don. 『Jungdeung Joseon History(中等朝鮮歷史)』 by Hwang was first published in 1926 and the 9th edition was published in 1933. This book was easy to read and included a lot of maps and pictures, and thus it was more popular than other books. 『Revised Jungdeung Joseon History(增訂中等朝鮮歷史)』 by Hwang was used as a textbook for Korean history in many secondary schools, and widely read by those who have an interest in Korean history. Accordingly, Hwang affected public recognition of Korean history, and the books by Hwang played an important role in promoting popularizing historical knowledge.
