Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Combining archival research and ethnographic interviews, this research investigated the largely unexplored contributions of Okinawan women and of Filipino musicians performing in the military base towns of postwar Okinawa. The research focused especially on musicians who performed jazz and pop/rock music beginning during the American Occupation years (1945-1972), and on those who later began their music careers playing in both on- and off-base clubs that catered primarily to American military personnel. The research contributes to understanding the gendered and ethnic dimensions of popular music performances in (post)colonial Okinawa and to understanding the transnational networks of popular music performance in Asia connected through American military base towns as local sites of the performance-based production of a global American-inspired modernity.
