<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:14pt">As is now widely known, in 1937 Josef Stalin deported close
to 200,000 ethnic Koreans from the Russian Far East to Central Asia. The main
goal of this panel will be to discuss Soviet Korean history beyond the 1937
deportation and, indeed, beyond the Soviet Union. To this end, two of the
world’s leading experts on the former Soviet Union’s Korean minority will
compare the divergent trajectories of the Koreans of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
since the 1991 collapse. In both places perestroika and the Soviet collapse
opened new routes for reclaiming Korean identity, as well as new contacts with
both North and South Korea. Since then, however, the Central Asian republics
have embarked on radically different nation-building projects, which in turn
have led to different minority policies and different racialization processes.
In both republics, the question facing the Korean minority is adaptation or
emigration; and, if emigration, to foreign countries or to South Korea? In
short, the panel will reveal the diversity of this branch of the Korean
diaspora, thereby highlighting the contingency of what it means to be Korean
and, more broadly, an ethnic minority today. <br>

<b>Papers:</b><br>
<br>
<b>Divergent Processes Among Koreans in the Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS) After the Soviet Collapse<br>
German Kim, Kazakhstan National al-Farabi University</b><br>
<br>
This paper focuses on the former Soviet Union’s different political and
socioeconomic trajectories, and the different effects this has had on CIS
Koreans. Arguing that the Soviet collapse has opened a new stage in the history
of CIS Koreans, the paper traces the divergent processes that have appeared
within the once uniform environment of “Soviet Koreans” or “Koryo Saram”. These
processes have revealed themselves in several spheres, including demographics,
social structures, and identity-formation. <br>
<br>
<b>Post-Soviet Koreans: Revival and Survival<br>
Valeriy Khan, Institute of History, National Academy of Sciences, Uzbekistan</b><br>
<br>
After the collapse of the USSR, the concepts “revival” and “survival” express
the most important challenges for post-Soviet Koreans. This paper focuses on
the meanings of these concepts, their interpretations and specificities as
applied to Koryo Saram. In this connection, the paper considers various factors
that influence models of behavior and life-strategies for Koreans across the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), including strategies for “revival”
and “survival”. The paper also provides multiple perspectives on the different
possible future trajectories for CIS Koreans. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">In 1923, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake
shook Tokyo and Yokohoma, essentially leveling Japan’s two largest cities and
causing more than 100,000 deaths. The subsequent aftershocks, fires, and
ensuing panic bred rumors that “malcontent Koreans” living in Japan were
setting the fires, poisoning water wells, and plotting a revolution. To prevent
this alleged uprising, vigilantes along with police and the military massacred
more than 6,000 Koreans.<br>
<br>
Partly to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the massacre, two unreleased rare
documentaries from Japan have been touring the United States since last
September. The films feature interviews with Japanese and Korean survivors, and
the first of the two sequel films "Hidden Scars: The Massacre of Koreans
>From the Arakawa River Bank to Shitamachi in Tokyo, 1923” will be shown. The
movie was directed by Choonkong Oh, a Korean resident of Japan, and is in
Japanese and Korean with English subtitles.<br>
<br>
The documentary is under an hour long, and will be followed by a discussion featuring
Jinhee Lee, a history professor at Eastern Illinois University whose research
focuses on the competing narratives of collective violence in the Japanese
empire.<br>
