Summary:
"An examination of the complex relationship between the women living near the U.S. base in Okinawa and the servicemen who are stationed there."
Okinawa, at the southern end of the Japanese archipelago, is host to a vast complex of U.S. military bases. Tensions are often exacerbated by the volatile relationship between islanders and the military, especially after the brutal rape of a twelve-year-old girl by three servicemen in the 1990s. Johnson focuses on the women there, following the complex fallout of the murder of an Okinawan woman by an ex-U.S. serviceman in 2016 and examining the cultural and sexual politics of the American military empire. --
