Notably I
scanned them in context; they are not on their own but with other works of literature (prose and poetry) as they were published.<BR><BR>They are not, I am ashamed to say, in a form which would please a scholar. I had trouble with the TOC, and eventually gave up, gathering together an unusable mass of photographs which I did not post to my homepage. I may try again on Monday. I also didn’t scan the covers! However, having read the TOCs, I would like to say that the claim, made by Steve, that these stories are clearly factual, is not tenable. They are not included with the non-fiction, but in the explicitly literary parts of the magazine.<BR><BR>My area of interest is late Chosŏn, so I am not at all invested in Josephine Baker never coming to Korea. But some better evidence, some corroboration, is needed. Above all, it is vital that historians read sources in context - reading a source out of context is like climbing trees to catch
fish.<BR><BR>The file is on my homepage: <A href="https://sites.google.com/site/adambohnet/files-and-notes" target=_blank>https://sites.google.com/site/adambohnet/files-and-notes</A>.<BR><BR>If you have trouble finding that link, then search me on Academia dot edu, find the link to my homepage, and then go to “ files and notes” on my homepage.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR><BR>Adam Bohnet<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
