Abstract

"The notion of the negative commons can be applied easily to the American military bases that Okinawa Prefecture is required to house. My paper will address that problem, but I will also consider another collectively shared burden: that of the guilt and trauma associated with colonial domination, wartime genocide and American occupation. I will consider it as an oppressive weight to be borne by the Okinawan people as well as a resource that allows them to envision and create new possibilities."
