Beschreibung

The keystone of U.S. security in East Asia, Okinawa is a troubled symbol of resistance and identity. In this perceptive ethnography, Matthew Allen draws on extensive fieldwork, interviews, and historical research to provide an original exploration of identity construction. The author argues that identity in Okinawa is multi-vocal, ambivalent, and still very much 'under construction.' With its interdisciplinary focus, anthropologists, sociologists, and historians alike will find this book an important source for understanding broad questions of identity formation in the contexts of national, ethnic, cultural, historical and economic experience.

Über den Autor

Matthew is an experienced teacher of history with a lifelong passion for the British monarchy. From childhood, he has been enthralled by the unique lives of our Kings and Queens. Amassing a vast body of knowledge on the subject, he is a writer for the Constitutional Monarchy Association and publishes academic articles in 'The Crown', a quarterly journal. When he is not teaching or writing, Matthew enjoys keeping up to date with the Royal Family and spending time with his much loved family (especially his godson and nephew - Luca).
