Speak, Okinawa: A Memoir by Elizabeth Miki Brina

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

I loved how this beautiful memoir took its genre to a new level by including some of the history of Okinawa amongst personal stories. It was a creative way to juxtapose her mother’s immigration journey with the past. 

This book also made me question American military presence in other countries like Okinawa. It seems to have caused more harm than good and continues to do so.
