Becoming Okinawan: Japanese capitalism and changing representations of Okinawa.
Matsumura, Wendy.

Becoming Okinawan: Japanese capitalism and changing representations of Okinawa. - 404 p.

Adviser: Louise Young.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2007.

My dissertation traces the way that the category of Okinawa developed into one that could be mobilized as a self-evident and naturally existing entity in relation to the process of Okinawa prefecture's establishment and incorporation into the Japanese nation-state. This process, which began in 1872, by the 1930s, successfully created a category, Okinawa, that conjured up an image of the 'South' that was both spatially and temporally removed from the time of modern Japan despite the prefecture's administratively equal status within the Japanese nation-state.

520 $a My dissertation traces the way that the category of Okinawa developed into one that could be mobilized as a self-evident and naturally existing entity in relation to the process of Okinawa prefecture's establishment and incorporation into the Japanese nation-state. This process, which began in 1872, by the 1930s, successfully created a category, Okinawa, that conjured up an image of the 'South' that was both spatially and temporally removed from the time of modern Japan despite the prefecture's administratively equal status within the Japanese nation-state.
520 $a Contrary to dominant interpretations that argue that this particularized image of Okinawa was a reflection of mainland Japanese social scientists and politicians' latent prejudices against the people of the region---that is, a sign of Okinawa's colonization---I argue that a careful examination of the discursive shifts that took place over time indicates that significant shifts in the definition of Okinawa were produced by local leaders who struggled amongst themselves for hegemony in the prefecture. They rearticulated their own stakes in the internal conflicts over resources, power, and legitimacy into arguments about the collective interests of the Okinawan people.
520 $a The main axis of conflict within Okinawa was therefore, not between local leaders and the Meiji state as it has traditionally been argued, but was between local bourgeoisie and other groups who each responded differently to the region's changing status and conditions within the ever-expanding Japanese empire. The conflicts that emerged reveal the contentiousness that lay beneath the calm exterior of an organic community united by their ancestors that local leaders articulated. Despite the existence of intense conflicts, the repeated mobilization of the category of Okinawa to legitimize specific interests strengthened the belief over time that such a community existed since the beginning of time.
