Turning toward Edification

Discusses foreigners in Korea from before the founding of Chosn in 1392 until the mid-nineteenth century. Although it has been common to describe Chosn Korea as a monocultural and homogeneous state, Adam Bohnet reveals the considerable presence of foreigners and people of foreign ancestry in Chosn Korea.

Intorcandu-ne spre Edificare, se discuta despre strainii din Coreea, inainte de infiintarea Chosŏn in 1392 si pana la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea. Desi a fost obisnuit sa se descrie Coreea Chosŏn ca un stat monocultural si omogen, Adam Bohnet dezvaluie prezenta considerabila a strainilor si a persoanelor de origine straina in Coreea Chosŏn, precum si importanta pentru monarhia Chosŏn a angajamentului cu lumea exterioara.
