<em>After Japan&rsquo;s annexation in 1879, Okinawa came under the unprecedented influence of Japanization. This research examined how learning in Hawai</em><em>ʻ</em><em>i influenced the Okinawan sense of identity of 11 Okinawan students. Grounded theory analysis of interview transcripts indicated that students became more conscious as Okinawan through encounters and interactions with local people, including Okinawans, and Hawaiians in Hawai&lsquo;i, and Okinawan events and activities there.

Abstract:
Could colonial settlers who repatriated from colonies to metropole after the empire’s fall be considered ‘diaspora’? How do these migrants of decolonization maintain their collective memory of the past and solidary identity as a group? This article explores the historical experiences of Okinawan colonial migrants to Japanese mandate Micronesia (which includes the Northern Marianas, Palau, and Chuuk) and these migrants’ forced repatriation to Okinawa after the devastating battles in the Western Pacific in 1944–45. It also ethnographically examines the Okinawan repatriates’ pilgrimages to the is

Son Jiyon’s “Contemplating Post-War Okinawan Literature：Gender, Ethnicity, and National Identity” criticizes the East Asian framework for understanding, and delves deeply into the intersection of postwar conditions and the Cold War in relation to Okinawa, through an analysis of various texts. As the author suggests, the situation of Okinawa is a microcosm of wider problems that are prevalent in the consciousness of East Asia as a whole, and which therefore can be understood at a fundamental level by Koreans, because they overlap with the contradictions thrown up by war and division in South Ko

Abstract: This study examines the narrations of 13 Okinawan women who arrived in Argentina in the 1950s and 1960s through oral history and document analysis. It determines how women's perceptions of their formative wartime and migration experiences can testify to the gendered impact of these events on their experiences and the multifaceted agency of women in dealing with these memories. The narrators indicate the tension between expected roles of femininity and women's new ideas and how the past shaped their relationship with Okinawa and Japan in terms of diasporic identity.

One of the key characteristics of recent Japanese grassroots civic activism is the number of individual citizens who began to go out on the streets to participate in public demonstrations. In many places around Japan, people who used to be seen as ‘apolitical,’ such as youth, office workers (so-called salary-men and salary-women) and other individuals, now join and lead public demonstrations that address a range of pressing social issues and problems, including nuclear energy, workplace harassment and constitutional change.

Consisting of a subtropical archipelago south of the Japanese mainland, playing host to a bevy of American military bases, and once the semi-independent kingdom of Ryukyu, Okinawa holds a unique and contentious place within the Tokyo-run nation-state. The central argument found in these pages suggests that a new look at the islands' identity along two tracks—a "high track" that focuses on the grander objects of the region's history such as castles or monuments and a "low track" dwelling on day-to-day matters such purchasing a meal or watching a sporting event—shows Okinawa evolving into a sub-

Abstract:
This research attempts to use the creation of popular music in Okinawa as a symbolic resource to reveal attributes related to the making of identity. Popular music in non-Western societies is a useful unit of analysis that can explain how people respond to cultural change and can tell us much about cultural values. The origin of identity studies is both historical and political by nature. However, socio-cultural functions can further expand our understanding of both cultural and political resistance. Popular music as identity is not static and is always in flux. Identity addresses the ongoing

Fondata attorno ad un ideale di omogenea esclusività plasmato dal governo Meiji (1868-1912), la concezione identitaria giapponese lascia poco spazio alle minoranze e alle diversità che tendono a venire negate, assoggettate o discriminate.

Demand for equal rights tends to be accompanied by assimilation of ethnic subordinates while the recognition of their separate identity is liable to justify unfair segregation. When an ethnic minority is aware of this dilemma, what identity are they to claim and what ideology do they present? By looking at contemporary local activism in Okinawa, Japan, this dissertation tries to give an empirical answer to this question. In Okinawans' historical experience, both their sameness as and difference from the Japanese turned out to be disadvantageous for the people. Local activists can support neith
