Yaeyama Society and Culture

This book is packed with hints for thinking about Yaeyama today.

The current Yaeyama Islands, at a crossroads with issues such as the Senkaku Islands, the textbook issue, Yonaguni and the Self-Defense Forces, and the future of the new airport, are set against the backdrop of the islands' history, life, ritual performing arts, and relations with Taiwan.
The characteristics of Yaeyama that cannot be lumped together with Okinawa become apparent.
