Abstract:This article shows the emergence of indigenous space in Okinawa through a review and analysis of land use planning in Yomitan Village. This article examines how microcommunities have historically organized and situated and how these self-governing entities and community leaders cooperate to create alternative land use of militarized space. I explore the dispute over the former Yomitan Airfield to unpack contested understandings and forms of belonging to, occupation over, and usage of the land. The analysis of the Yomitan Airfield demonstrates an artful way of indigenous repossession of militarized land by a local community. Furthermore, the repossession of the Yomitan Airfield shows when, how, and to what extent “indigeneity” matters in the contemporary land politics in Okinawa.

V. R. Selinger
Abstract:In 1914, the Japanese folklorist Minakata Kumagusu published an essay showing that a parable in the Japanese Buddhist primer Hōbutsushū resembled the Indian epic Rāmāyana. In detailing the transit of the epic, Minakata rejected hierarchical paradigms of “source” and “adaptation” as well as nation-based models that focused on cultural indigenization. Instead, he showed that Buddhist texts across Asia built upon already transformed texts in an adaptational chain with no center. This way of reading adaptations not as local variants but as “access points” to a larger network resembles recent theories of “rhizomatic texts.” Minakata's denationalized and dehierarchized textual networks thus anticipate recent discussions of inter-connections within Asia that reject national, cultural, or ethnic unities and see the heterogeneity produced by cultural contact.

Abstract:During World War II, the Brazilian government implemented repressive measures targeting immigrant communities of Italian, German, and Japanese extraction. Those measures intensified a process already under way since the beginning of the Estado Novo (New State, 1937–45). In this article, I focus on the consequences of these measures on the experience of Japanese immigrants in the city of São Paulo and specifically in the neighborhood of Liberdade, which had the greatest concentration of Japanese. I argue that in those years of restrictions and ethnic persecution, a durable and valued connection existed between Japanese immigrants and the neighborhood of Liberdade. This type of selective occupation and settlement of urban space reflects a demarcation of territory in a way that those difficult years could not undo.

Abstract:Tracing the genesis of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1966 as a product of U.S. militarism in Vietnam and Japanese imperial ambitions, this essay shows that ADB-funded energy, sustainability, and risk management projects are inseparable from the racialized and sexualized legacies of war and empire. American engagement with hydropower planning reveals how U.S. interests in energy and infrastructural development justified military escalation of the war in Vietnam and established hydropower as a symbol of modernity. Putting artist Tiffany Chung's speculative maps of Saigon in dialogue with the ADB's climate change adaptation reports, this article develops the analytic of feminist refugee memory to articulate an environmentalist perspective that incorporates feminist critiques of war and empire.
