Abstract
This article explores the process of rural Korea's modernization by focusing on one village's experiences. It examines, in clarifying the continuities and discontinuities between colonial and postcolonial Korea, various changes from the 1930s to the 1970s in the range of the village headman's power and in the management of the village's communal properties. Further, it examines whether the rural society took its own initiatives independent of the state-led policies of modernization. The village under examination was officially celebrated as a charip maŭl ("independent village") in recognition of its contribution to the New Village Movement. The village's modernization drive was closely related to the experience of Nongch'on chinhŭng undong ("rural development movement") of the colonial period. The village headman who had led the Nongch'on chinhŭng undong was virtually a local deity, and the village elite who led the New Village Movemenrt were all born in the 1930s at the peak of the Nongch'on chinhŭng undong. In the mid-1950s, when state authority weakened and strife among clans intensified, the members of the village came to form an autonomous communal society. Villagers now owned a modern mill, and were able to form a rice-hulling guild. Through an efficient management of the mill, they were able to meet village expenses and accumulate communal properties. The properties accumulated as such would later become the major resource for the construction of their village hall in the New Village era.
