Trade Review

Keyso's book emphasizes the many positive features of Okinawan women's postwar experience without disguising the hardship and discrimination they have variously experienced. Furthermore, the way in which she has chosen her interviewees... only serves to deepen our understanding of the complex problems raised by the U.S. presence on Okinawa... In short, Keyso provides us with a fascinating perspective on Okinawan history and women's place within it.
