Description
Okinawa brings together two collections of intertwined stories by Susumu Higa, reflecting on the island's difficult history and its ongoing impact today. The first collection, Sword of Sand, offers a ground-level look at the horrors of the Battle of Okinawa, while the second, Mabui, explores how the American occupation has changed the island through the lens of traditional spirituality. Higa's work pulls together the complexities of war, occupation, and cultural identity, creating a harrowing yet hopeful document. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in World War II and its effects on our lives today, as well as those drawn to the people and culture of Okinawa. Through Higa's unique perspective, Okinawa sheds light on a fascinating and complicated place, one that continues to grapple with its past and its present.
