This study examines Okinawa's relationship with the Japanese nation-state from 1879 to 2000 through the lens of cultural heritage. It also analyzes how the Japanese state and American occupation authorities have used heritage to govern Okinawa, and how Okinawans use it to negotiate, resist, and contest Japanese and American impositions of power.
