Critically examined in this article is how the outside community viewed and evaluated the history of North Korea during the Cold War period, employing a perspective to view history as a subject sometimes not only read or understood but even ‘consumed’ by the public.
It is a well known fact that since the late 1960s North Korean historiography was reshaped and even distorted to serve as an ideological tool for the North Korean leadership so that it could condone and endorse singularized dominant governing (by Kim Il Sung) and Kim’s own Juche Philosophy. North Korean historians not only integrated the personal history of Kim Il Sung into the modern and contemporary history of Korea, but also completely recomposed North Korean history with Kim’s own actions at the center of it. This is a blatant example of political power turning a mere individual (of course in this case, the one and only North Korean leader) into a historic figure, in an extremely arbitrary manner just for the good and need of the state. In other words, it is an quintessential example of “consumption of history to suit one’s need.”
However, people who have criticized North Koreans’ arbitrary consumption of Kim Il Sung’s legacy should also share the blame of conveniently consuming history at their own discretion. In this study, the travelogues of U.S. journalists who visited North Korea in the early and middle years of the 1970 when East Asia was welcoming a détente. They all wrote what they saw and heard while having a trip based on a predetermined course offered to foreigners by the North Korean government, and eventually released those writings to the press. These travelogues, written by people on both sides of the political aisle, came to serve as proxies for contenders in an ideological battle of propaganda. Things released from North Korea were reinterpreted (by the other side) based upon people’s limited knowledge of the Socialist states as well as their own preconception. North Korean historiography which featured Kim Il Sung’s life at its very center was particularly criticized. Meanwhile, South Korean press provided the public with translations of abbreviated versions of those travelogues, restricting the scope of South Korean understanding of North Korea even more, and more so than that of the U.S. On the other hand, it should also be noted that these U.S. travelogues from the 1970s led to a new breed of studies regarding Kim Il Sung’s North Korea.
