Описание: This book examines classical and modern interpretations of education in the context of contemporary Okinawa as a site of neoliberal military-industrial development.
Since its incorporation into the Japanese nation-state in 1879, Okinawa has been seen by both Okinawans and Japanese as an exotic “South,” both spatially and temporally distinct from modern Japan. In The Limits of Okinawa, Wendy Matsumura traces the emergence of this sense of Okinawan difference, showing how local and mainland capitalists, intellectuals, and politicians attempted to resolve clashes with labor by appealing to the idea of a unified Okinawan community. Their numerous confrontations with small producers and cultivators who refused to be exploited for the sake of this ideal produced and reproduced “Okinawa” as an organic, transhistorical entity. Informed by recent Marxist attempts to expand the understanding of the capitalist mode of production to include the production of subjectivity, Matsumura provides a new understanding of Okinawa's place in Japanese and world history, and it establishes a new locus for considering the relationships between empire, capital, nation, and identity.

Описание: This compelling book explores Okinawa`s makeover as a tourist mecca among the physical ruins of the Pacific War`s most devastating land battle. Gerald Figal considers how a place burdened by a history of semi-colonialism, memories of war and occupation, economic hardship, and contentious politics has reshaped itself into a resort destination.
