Japan in the 1950s : symbolic victims -- Okinawa, 1945-1952 : allegories of becoming -- Okinawa, 1952-1958 : solidarity under the cover of darkness -- Okinawa, 1958-1972 : the subaltern speaks -- Okinawa, 1972-1995 : life that matters.
"Alegal traces the trans-Pacific biopolitics between a postwar American empire of military bases and postcolonial Japan that secured Okinawa as a U.S. military fortress. It shows how both managed sex in its base towns from 1945 to 2015, and elucidates the potential for Okinawan insurgency in response to this collaboration"-- Provided by publisher
