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.", --Provided by publisherOkinawa, 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. --, adapted from jacket
