Okinawan Women's Stories of Migration

More about the book

Focusing on the unique experiences of Okinawan women during the Allied occupation from 1945 to 1972, this book explores their relationships with non-Western men, primarily from the Philippines. While the narrative of "war brides" typically highlights Japanese women marrying Western soldiers, this work sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of these women and their diverse paths, offering a fresh perspective on love and cultural exchange in a historical context marked by conflict and occupation.
