Okinawan people have developed a unique tradition of protest in
their long history of oppression and marginalization. Beginning
with the Ryukyu Kingdom's annexation to Japan in the late
nineteenth century, Miyume Tanji charts the devastation caused by
the Second World War, followed by the direct occupation of post-war
Okinawa and continued presence of the US military forces in the
wake of reversion to Japan in 1972.
With ever more fragmented organizations, identities and
strategies, Tanji explores how the unity of the Okinawan community
of protest has come to rest increasingly on the politics of myth
and the imagination.
Drawing on original interview material with Okinawan protestors
and in-depth analysis of protest history, Myth, Protest and
Struggle in Okinawa will appeal to scholars of Japanese history and
politics, and those working on social movements and protest.
