• W2080247147 abstract "116BOOK REVIEWS never occur to me (p. 15). The sudden changes in perspective are executed not only between first person and third person narratives, but also among nearly all the human characters in the novel and even animals. The story is explained achronologically, as past, present, and future blend inseparably in each other. Even death is taken as an integral component of life and is presented as a narrative standpoint: Even after I was dead, he nevertheless made me a coffin (p. 218). The fascination which Anatolii Kim's novel exercises over the reader originates partly from this clever narrative style of multiple perspectives, which attempts to show a polyphonous world in an appropriately polyphonous fashion. This experimentation is not all there is to the novel; it is also Kim's lively, wondrous language and his accessible, unique wisdom that fascinate us. Frank Hoffmann Universität Tübingen Editor's Note: This review is an expanded version of a review originally appearing in the March 27, 1990, issue of the FrankfurterRundschau (Jahrgang 46, Nr. 73/13). The Colonial Origins ofKorean Enterprise, 1910-1945, by Dennis L. McNamara. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1990. xiv, 208. Appendixes: Portfolios, Brief Biographies, Glossary. Bibliography: Asian Languages, English Language. Cloth, $44.50. With the Republic of Korea now well on the way to joining the family of highincome nations, one inevitably wonders how such entrepreneurial energy developed , and what are its antecedents. The McNamara book examines three prominent families of Korean capitalists operating during the period of formal Japanese control of Korea's economy , 1910-1945. He looks at how a Korean business elite emerged, adjusted, and created their own forms of enterprise (ix). The author details the post-Samil debate over indigenous survival and development, and focuses on the business ideology and organization of people like Min Tae-sik, Pak Hüng-sik, and Kim Yön-su (ix). Chapters on Origins, Benign Capitalism, the Colonial State, and Japanese Investment set the stage for consideration of The Mins and Finance, Pak and Commerce, and Kim and Industry. A terminal chapter on Legacies brings the reader to a consideration of how the colonial experience played out in the First (Rhee) and Third (Park) republics. Admittedly the Korean capitalists limned in this study were but a sideshow in the Japanese colonial economy, which represented about 94 percent of investment in firms of more than one million yen capitalization (103). Even though the three family groups were rather insignificant in the overall colonial picture, the author presents firm evidence that they were not without financial BOOK REVIEWS117 acumen, commercial energy, and industrial imagination. The families under study here operated out of a core of family-owned and family-managed enterprises . McNamara states that the Korean enterprises examined in this study were exceptions to the general rule of alien ownership and direction characteristic of major investments in a dependent colonial economy (36). Evidence for the indigenous sideshow is the author's statement that Even excluding the larger Japanese trading firms, Korean-owned companies held only a quarter of the total paid-in capital of commercial ventures with headquarters on the peninsula in 1938 (62). Anyone writing of Korean capital in the Japanese period must face the problems of whether the Korean entrepreneurs were compradors—investing in enterprises of foreign origin—or dependent capitalists, operating semi-independently under the gradually increasing constraints of Japanese economic and military power. McNamara decides that the emphasis in our study on indigenous ownership and internal control of native enterprises provides further evidence for Kajimura's conclusion of dependent rather than comprador capital. I have argued that structure and precedent represent the wider contribution to national development among the core enterprises of the Mins, Pak, and Kim (126). He thus succinctly answers the comprador question in the negative, and foreshadows the tenor of his final chapter on Legacies. The Yöhüng Min clan from near Yôju in Kyönggi province rose in influence as the Andong Kims declined. Min Yông-hwi was made a Viscount by the Japanese (he lived until 1935, dying at 82). His sons Tae-sik and Kyu-sik went mostly into finance, with investments..." @default.
