Description
Elizabeth Miki Brina's memoir Speak, Okinawa is a deeply personal exploration of identity and cultural heritage. Born to an American father and an Okinawan mother who met while she was working as a nightclub hostess in U.S.-occupied Okinawa, Elizabeth grew up with a complex sense of belonging. As she navigates her complicated family dynamics and the history of Okinawa, Brina confronts the shame and self-loathing that have haunted both herself and her mother for generations. This powerful memoir is a heartfelt exploration of forgiveness, inheritance, and what it means to be an American.
