io_roo 's review for:
Speak, Okinawa: A Memoir
by Elizabeth Miki Brina
challenging
emotional
hopeful
informative
inspiring
reflective
sad
tense
medium-paced
jarring and brutally honest re experiencing of her life and her perceptions and feelings. what it’s like to know and not know where you come from and who you are. the history of okinawa and the struggle and injustice still prevalent is unruly. i felt joy, despair, rage. i feel for kyoko, elizabeth’s mother, kinuko, my grandmother and all of the uchinaanchu and shimanchu women who left their loving albeit desolate homes in search of a better life. found or unfounded
