Abstract	"In When the Bones Speak, Christopher T. Nelson considers the ways ordinary Okinawans, haunted by memories of the past, have struggled to live with the unbearable legacies of war, Japanese nationalism, and American imperialism. Through the lens of his own US Marine training and ethnographic research completed over twenty-five years in the region, Nelson asks about sacrifice and residual trauma from events intended to preserve the imperial institution and Japanese state. Nelson's focus on Okinawa, a site of mass atrocities, and its inhabitants, demonstrates how memories of past sacrifices and exploitation connect with modern, everyday lives. Interrogating the intersection of past and present temporalities and future possibilities, Nelson amplifies the voices of people-living and dead, visible and immaterial-entangled in webs of power beyond their control"-- Provided by publisher.
