| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines rethinking by North and South Korean scholars in the 1960s of the ethnogenesis of the Korean people. During that period, a combination of political and ideological changes, along with marked progress in studying Korea's distant past led to trends that now play an important role in the understanding of the two countries' scholars about the processes behind the ethnogenesis of the Korean people. In North Korea, this resulted in the chucheization of Korea's ancient history, resulting in an autochthonous theory of Korean ethnogenesis, while scholars in the South took an interdisciplinary approach that enabled them to formulate a theory of migrational Korean ethnogenesis on a multiethnic basis. |
