It is rather rare to see Okinawan poetry translated into English. But this volume presents just such a collection of Okinawa?s own poetic form, the ryuuka. With its typical four lines of thirty syllables (i.e., 8,8,8,6), a ryuuka embodies poetic compression to an extent greater than its famous cousins, Japanese waka or tanka, with their thirty-one syllables and five lines (i.e., 5,7,5,7,7). The ryuuka appearing here are drawn from a time span of several hundred years. The authors present poems of Aragusuku Anki, Arakaki Rintoku, Chatan Ooji, Goeku Aji, Heshikiya Choobin, Kume Gushikawa Ooji Chooei, Motobu Aji Chookyu, Motobu Aji, Motobu Ooji, Saion, Shootoku Oojo, Tamagusuku Chookun, Teijunsoku, Tsuken Oyakata, Unna Nabii, Yonabaru Oyakata, Yushiya Chiruu and Zukeran Oyakata Teuki. A Hundred Waves also includes a note on translating Okinawan poetry, a pronunciation guide for Romanization and concludes with an index.

Tze May Loo's Heritage Politics examines Okinawa's relationship with the Japanese nation-state from 1879 to 2000 through the lens of cultural heritage. This book is a study of the politics of cultural heritage: how the Japanese state and American occupation authorities used-and continue to use-heritage to govern Okinawa, and how Okinawans use it to negotiate, resist, and contest Japanese and American impositions of power.
