I am repeating this message, below, as apparently was misaddressed.

I would like to announce publication this week of "Okinawa and Jeju: Bases of Discontent," by Palgrave Macmillan, NY and UK. It's available on amazon for downloading on kindle and in hard cover. It's a Palgrave Pivot book, 50,000 or so words, 150 pp. -- six chapters on Okinawa, two on Jeju, plus epilogue, comparative stats, maps and photos, biblio.
The bond between Okinawa and Jeju is their shared concern about bases -- the historic ones on Okinawa and the navy base under construction on Jeju. Okinawa and Jeju have much in common -- the former an island prefecture south of "mainland" Japan, the latter an island province south of "mainland" Korea, both the scene of bloodshed, mass slaughter, going on 70 years ago, both skeptical of central authority, foreign intervention etc.
Some listees may be interested.
