Research Abstract

The purpose of this research was two-fold. One goal was to conduct a comprehensive, structural, and comparative study of the impact of twenty-seven year American administration of postwar Okinawa had with respect to cross-cultural contact. The other purpose was to compare the Okinawan experience with areas that have had a similar historical experience. Research was mainly conducted on materials collected through libraries and archives in Okinawa, Japan, and the U.S.Interviews were also conducted to the people who were involved in some way in activities that affected the above-mentioned cross-cultural contacts and their impacts. The results of this research are to be summarized as follows.
1. The U.S.influence on the formation of culture in Postwar Okinawa in the era of American administration was investigated with respect to intellectual history, language policy, higher education policy, environmental policy, and other aspects of cross-cultural contact. As a result, this research has shed light on issues pertaining to American administration not previously investigated.
2. Materials obtained through library and archive research and interviews clarified the image Americans had of Okinawans and vice versa. Collected materials included policies and/or plans of the U.S.Military Government and the U.S.Civil Administration of the Ryukyus related to culture, higher education, language, and emigration, and related policies and/or plans of the Government of the Okinawa Islands and the Government of the Ryukyu Islands. Moreover, people who left Okinawa for the U.S.were interviewed about their cross-cultural contacts in Okinawa and the U.S.
3. The Okinawan experience of cross-cultural contact was compared with that of Okinawan and Philippine Americans in Hawaii. Out of this comparison, patterns of assimilation into the mainstream and maintenance of cultural heritage were formalized.
