ABSTRACT

Lee, Hoisung describes the lives of the Koreans who had to wander as a stranger in Sakhalin in The Travelers for One Hundred Years. As Sakhalin was not a simple geographical spot but an axis of East Asia, it is true that the grounds for Korean people spread out all around the East Asia. The history of Korean people should include the lives of them, and the solutions of the problems of the Korean race can be found when we cross the border of 'the country' of Republic of Korea and 'the region' of Korean Peninsular. Lee insisted that the notion 'race' should be approached with the view of the recovery of humanity and racial equality, not the racism itself. His new vision of race is well described in The Travelers for One Hundred Years, which insists that the conflict among races can be settled down through confession and forgiveness between the power and powerless. To be brief, in The Travelers for One Hundred Years, Lee argued that humanism in the era of transnationalism can be achieved through confession and forgiveness.
