Description

Okinawa, the only Japanese prefecture invaded by US forces in 1945, was forced to accommodate 146 military comfort stations from 1941-45. How did Okinawans view these intrusive spaces and their impact on regional society? Interviews, survivor testimonies, and archival documents show that the Japanese army manipulated comfort stations to isolate local communities, facilitate spy hunts, and foster a fear of rape by Americans that induced many Okinawans to choose death over life. The rape phobia spawned by the US occupation (1945-72) perpetuated that politics of sex into the postwar era. This study of war, sexual violence, and postcolonial memory sees the comfort stations as discursive spaces of remembrance where contradictory war experiences can be articulated, exchanged, and mutually reassessed. Winner of the 2017 Prize for New Okinawa Literature granted by the Okinawa Times. Winner of the 2017 Best Publication Award of the Year by the Okinawa Times. About the Author HONG Yunshin, Ph.D. Waseda University (2012), teaches, speaks, and writes on women and sexual violence in war and Okinawa. Her representative work is Koreans and the Politics of Sex and Life during the Battle of Okinawa (Inpakuto Shuppan, 2016, Japanese).
