Masamichi Inoue
Since the mid-1990s, I have been conducting a series of anthropological and cultural analyses of the U.S. military base issues in Okinawa. Currently, I aim to complete a second book on this subject. In addition, I have conducted fieldwork with the campus police to examine issues of security in the increasingly globalized environment of post-9.11 American society. “Border-crossing” as a form of intellectual enterprise mediates and unites these projects, manifesting itself as I write Japan (including Okinawa) from a global perspective on the one hand and explore global America as a Japanese intellectual on the other.
