| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research has aimed to examine the cultural meanings in the contexts of socio-political processes of the making and unmaking of the red-light districts established near US military bases in postwar Okinawa, Japan. By focusing on a public campaign of the red-light district which was organized by the city council, the police, and community groups in the middle part of the main island of Okinawa, it has shown the way in which its workers are depicted not only as victims and criminals but also as the others who can be removed from a community and the red-light district is positioned as a ‘revanchist community’ which is supposed to return to local residents from workers and US military forces.
