When My Name Was Keoko

fullDescription

Koreans Sun-hee and her brother Tae-yul must study Japanese language and culture in school. The symbols of their beloved Korea-like its flag and the rose of Sharon tree-can never be displayed or mentioned in public. When the Emperor of Japan decrees that all Koreans must take Japanese names, Sun-hee and Tae-yul become Keoko and Nobuo. But as World War II explodes all around them, Sun-hee and Tae-yul wage their own war to stay true to their family, their country, and themselves.

   • source:
   • content: Park, who won the 2002 Newbery Medal for her previous book, THE SINGLE SHARD, is back with a fascinating look at Korea under Japanese occupation at the outbreak of WWII. Brother and sister Sun-hee and Tal-yule are forced to learn Japanese and give up all things Korean, including their names, Keoko and Nobuo. This story casts light on an era and place little known by young people in America today and, like all good history, lends an understanding of current events. Despite the help that everyone must give to the war preparations, not everyone is willing to defend Japan. Keoko and her brother take their own risks in their efforts to resist. This is a powerful and riveting tale, marred only by a narration that seems at times flat and without emotion. It is, however, delivered with beautiful clarity and crisp pronunciation of foreign terms. D.G. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

     "A brother and sister alternate as narrators in this well-constructed novel, which takes place from 1940–1945 in Japanese-occupied Korea," wrote PW
     in a starred review. "Through the use of the shifting narrators, Park subtly points up the differences between male and female roles in Korean society and telling details provide a clear picture of the siblings and their world." Ages 10-up.

     Starred review from March 4, 2002
     A brother and sister alternate as narrators in Newbery Medalist Park's (A Single Shard) well-constructed novel, which takes place from 1940–1945 in Japanese-occupied Korea. The Japanese government forbids the Korean language to be spoken and the country's flag to be flown, and even forces Korean families like Tae-yul and Sun-hee's to change their names (Sun-hee becomes Keoko). Through the use of the shifting narrators, Park subtly points up the differences between male and female roles in Korean society; and the father's process of choosing the family's Japanese name speaks volumes about his strength and intelligence. As the war intensifies, each family member asserts his or her individuality, from Sun-hee, who continues to keep a journal after a soldier calls it "a crime against our Divine Emperor," to her uncle, who prints a revolutionary newspaper in hiding, to Tae-yul, who joins the Japanese army to avoid helping the military police capture his uncle—only to be chosen as a kamikaze pilot. The son comes to an understanding of his father rather abruptly at the novel's close, and some readers may wonder why Tae-yul was not labeled a chin-il-pa
     ("lover of Japan" ). But, in the end, telling details provide a clear picture of Sun-hee and Tae-yul and their world. Readers will come away with an appreciation of this period of history and likely a greater interest in learning more about it. Ages 10-14.
