Conclusion: We Who Become Together
This book has explored variations of transpacific strivings in black America, Japan, and Okinawa in the twentieth century. Following Toni Morrison's insight about “blackness” and how to enunciate it in language without being overcome by the corruption of race, it has considered how the diverse participants of Afro-Asian solidarity projects in black America, Japan, and Okinawa linked up through imagination and social practice.

The Presence of (Black) Liberation in Occupied Okinawa
This chapter examines the political visions that motivated diverse constituents of radical social movements in occupied Okinawa to pursue the promise of transpacific strivings.

Transpacific Antiracism: Afro-Asian Solidarity in 20th-Century Black America, Japan, and Okinawa
"In this exhaustively-researched and beautifully-written book, Onishi uncovers a hidden history of Afro-Asian radicalism and internationalism. He presents bold and generative arguments about the ways in which the affiliation of kindred spirits across the Pacific enabled anti-racist intellectuals and activists from Japan and the U.S. to forge a new philosophy of world history and formulate practical programs for liberation." - George Lipsitz, auth…

Occupied Okinawa on the Edge: On Being Okinawan in Hawai‘i and U.S. Colonialism toward Okinawa
This essay unpacks the work of imagining a new identity among Okinawan immigrants in Hawai‘i in the late 1940s and early 1950s. During this period, they negotiated the nearness of their homeland under U.S. occupation, all the while pursuing the promise of becoming U.S. citizens buoyed by immigration reform and the Hawaiian statehood campaign. Traversing the liminal space of being a citizen and an immigrant, they constructed the stories of their f…
