Heritage politics : Shuri Castle and Okinawa's incorporation into modern Japan, 1879-2000

Tze May Loo (Author)
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
