Okinawa studies today/ Laura Hein - 2022
The recent explosion of work on Okinawa focuses attention on Okinawans in Japan's empire, the diaspora, the American postwar order, and the more distant past. Another major topic is the multiple ways that individuals experience their relationship to Okinawan identity. This research matches the energy and creativity of Okinawan culture today. Popular frustration with the presence of U.S. military bases, enabled by the Japanese government, remains an inescapable issue in the background.
