Dancing with the Dead: Memory, Performance, and Everyday Life in Postwar Okinawa Paperback - 2008
by Christopher T. Nelson
From the rear cover
""Dancing with the Dead" is a beautifully written, deeply evocative, and smartly argued book about the ways in which the past intrudes into the present and how memory is given shape, recognition, and vigor through storytelling of various forms. This will be an important book not only for and about Okinawan history but also about the times of continued violence and militarism in which we live."--Anne Allison, author of "Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination"
