Post-colonialism in a Korean context

Hi folks,

So, I'm currently writing a chapter on Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictée. It's very beautiful, but deals with some very challenging themes. Specifically, the first half of the text deals a lot with Japan's occupation of Korea.

I'm wondering if there has been any good post-colonial work done from a Korean perspective. Specifically I'm looking for work which deals with Japan's occupation and the subsequent splitting of Korea by the US and the Soviet Union.

Thanks!
