ABOUT THE BOOK
The phenomenon of “war brides” from Japan moving to the West has been quite widely discussed, but this book tells the stories of women whose lives followed a rather different path after they married foreign occupiers. During Okinawa’s Occupation by the Allies from 1945 to 1972, many Okinawan women met and had relationships with non-Western men who were stationed in Okinawa as soldiers and base employees. Most of these men were from the Philippines.
Zulueta explores the journeys of these women to their husbands’ homeland, their acculturation to their adopted land, and their return to their native Okinawa in their late adult years. Utilizing a life-course approach, she examines how these women crafted their own identities as first-generation migrants or “Issei” in both the country of migration and their natal homeland, their re-integration to Okinawan society, and the role of religion in this regard, as well as their thoughts on end-of-life as returnees.
Fifty years ago, a dictator has declared the start of an era marked by deceit, state repression, human rights violations and the suffering of a nation as it endured a struggling economy crippled by debt.
In remembrance, read the Philippine Social Science Council's Social Science Information, Vol. 47-48 (2019-2020) with the theme "Historical Fact and Fiction". The theme for this issue emanated from pre-pandemic times when voices of dissent on the revision of some Philippine historical facts began to reverberate among historians, academics, and watchers of societal events.
