Are the people of Okinawa 'Japanese' or not 'Japanese'? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnswers to this puzzling question are explored in this richly-detailed volume, written by one of Japan's foremost public intellectuals, historical sociologist Eiji Oguma. Here, Oguma addresses issues of Okinawan sovereignty and its people's changing historical, cultural, and linguistic identity, over more than 150 years until its 1972 reversion to Japanese control, following its administration by the US from the end of the Pacific War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronological Table \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap of the main island of Okinawa \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 The Ryukyu Disposition (Ry?ky? shobun) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Okinawan Education and ‘Japanisation’ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 The Creation of Okinawan Nationalism \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 The Distortion of Orientalism \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Islands on the Boundary \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 From Pro-Independence to Pro-Reversion Discources \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 The Signifi cance of ‘Japan, the Ancestral Land’ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 The Idea of Progressive Nationalism \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 The Dialect Placards of the 1960s \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Anti-Reversion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName Index \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject Index\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kyoto University Press and Trans Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191937687895,"sku":"9781920901424","price":30.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-boundaries-of-the-japanese-volume-1-okinawa-1818-1972-inclusion-and-exclusion-9781920901424","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
