Preface: 'As a nation whose importance to Koreans goes beyond that of being simply an ally, America has exerted and continues to exert an immense influence on the historical development of Korea. Furthermore, because of its unique strategic value and economic interests, Korea is also emerging as an ally that America simply cannot ignore. At a time when the Korean-American relationship is growing closer every day, I believe it is a very meaningful task for us to make a careful examination of how Koreans have perceived the American people and their culture over the past 140 years.'
