Heritage Politics: Shuri Castle And Okinawa’S Incorporation Into Modern Japan, 1879–2000 (Asiaworld)

Tze May Loo's Heritage Politics examines Okinawa's relationship with the Japanese nation-state from 1879 to 2000 through the lens of cultural heritage. This book is a study of the politics of cultural heritage: how the Japanese state and American occupation authorities used--and continue to use--heritage to govern Okinawa, and how Okinawans use it to negotiate, resist, and contest Japanese and American impositions of power.
