이 논문은 재일조선인 역사학자 박종명(朴鐘鳴:1928-2018)의 민족교육관, 문학에 대한 인식, 고대 한일관계사 인식 등을 고찰함으로써 1.5세대 재일조선인 역사학자의 민족적 인식의 한 유형을 파악하고자 한 것이다. 민족교육가였던 박종명은, 민족교육에 대한 신중한 자세, 민족적 소양, 그리고 모국 정부가 해외에 있는 사람에 주목했다. 그의 이런 생각은 민족교육의 현장에서도 일관되었다. 이와 함께 문학적 소양을 갖고 있던 박종명은 김사량이 제국과 식민지, 조선인 지식인의 모습에 대해 적극적으로 서술하는데 긍정적이었다. 그리고 『빛 속으로』의 민족문학사적 존재적 가치를 인정했다. 또한 박종명은 한일관계사에 대한 통사적 인식을 하고 있었다. 여기에서 그는 삼국시대, 고려시대, 조선시대의 역사 속에서 한일관계의 한반도 주도성을 지속적으로 확인했다. 그리고 그는 전근대 우호 속 교류사를 통해 현재의 한일관계의 올바른 해결책을 찾아가는 것이 역사가 주는 교훈이라고 했다. 나아가 그는 역사적 사실에 대한 엄중함에 주목했다. 특히 고대 한일관계사와 한국과 일본 양국의 고대사 연구에서 그 관점은 유지되었다. 재일조선인의 역사와 문학은 새로운 세대에 의해 계승되었다. 1.5세대인 박종명은 이 사실을 잘 알고 있었다. 그는 재일조선인이 한국 사람(조선인)임을 잊지 않았다. 그는 민족이 있고, 민중이 있다고 생각했다.
