This compelling book explores Okinawa's makeover as a tourist mecca among the physical ruins of the Pacific War's most devastating land battle. Gerald Figal considers how a place burdened by a history of semi-colonialism, memories of war and occupation, economic hardship, and contentious politics has reshaped itself into a resort destination.
