<div align=left><FONT face=arial>Dear List members,</FONT></div> <div align=left><FONT face=arial></FONT> </div> <div align=left><FONT face=arial>If you are interested in reading sports history in modern Korea, here is information about a new book "Transformation of Modern Korean Sport: Imperialism, Nationalism, Globalization" written by Gwang Ok, PhD recieved from Strathclyde University UK, currently working at Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Korea.</FONT></div> <div align=left><FONT face=arial></FONT> </div> <div align=left><FONT face=arial>Sport in Korea is closely linked with national identity. The International Global sporting community recognizes the Korean success over the last two decades in hosting the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. Its evolution in Korean modern society has been a significant story in its cultural transition. Studies of Korean modern sport, nevertheless, still remain neglected to the extent of its
relevance to the ideological perspectives. ... ... The role of sport as an internal reaction to these external threats is a significant finding. It will conclude that sport has been both a product and a mechanism to continue and change the society with emphasis on cultural diffusion, national assimilation and independent assertion in modern Korean cultural society. - From the Preface </FONT></div> <div align=left><FONT face=arial></FONT> </div> <div class=MsoTitle style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; WORD-BREAK: keep-all; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; TEXT-ALIGN: left" align=left><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=arial size=2><U>Contents</U></FONT></SPAN></div> <div class=MsoTitle style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; WORD-BREAK: keep-all; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; TEXT-ALIGN: left" align=left><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=arial></FONT></SPAN> </div> <div class=MsoTitle style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; WORD-BREAK: keep-all;
