[KS] Critiques of Sin Chaeho

[Vladimir Tikhonov]

Dear Andrew,

I would recommend you Paek Namun's oeuvre, <Chōsen shakai keizaishi> (朝 
鮮社会経済史, 東京 : 改造社, 1933). Sin and his epigones are criticised 
there from solid Marxist positions, although Paek goes against certain 
points in what was then Marxist orthodoxy in Japan (he does not 
recognize "Asiatic mode of production" in ancient Korea, for example). 
Generally, criticism of Sin and other "romantic nationalists" (the likes 
of ChOng Inbo, KwOn TOkkyu etc.) was a common theme in the writings by 
the Korean Marxists in the late 30s (Pak Ch'iu and Lim Hwa, in addition 
to Marxist historians). Sin's uncompromising political line was, 
however, much adored - for understandable reasons.

Best,
Vladimir
