The economic imperative of sustainable tourism development
frequently shapes life on small subtropical islands. In Okinawa,
ecotourism promises to provide employment for a dwindling
population of rural youth while preserving the natural environment
and bolstering regional pride. Footprints in Paradise explores the
transformation in community and sense of place as Okinawans come to
view themselves through the lens of the visiting tourist consumer,
and as their language, landscapes, and wildlife are reconstituted
as treasured and vulnerable resources. The rediscovery and
revaluing of local ecological knowledge strengthens Okinawan or
Uchinaa cultural heritage, despite the controversial presence of US
military bases amidst a hegemonic Japanese state.
