The Ryukyu archipelago better known as Okinawa has many nicknames: island paradise, prostitute daughter, internal colony, breakwater, keystone of the Pacfic and home of the gods. For most of this century its people have had no voice, suffering tragedy and indignity. The most militarised community on the planet is now speaking out, saying no, wanting more. Okinawa Dreams OK is a unique collection of the voices and views of Okinawans, and those of the military who dominate their lives, in their own words. Free-traders, radical landowners, business tycoons, beachcombers, conservative politicians, karate masters, singers, comedians, independent filmmakers and just plain folk all want something they know they can get. Because they’ve already had it: their own freedom and independence.
