Okinawa under occupation: McDonaldization and resistance to neoliberal propaganda

Examines classical and modern interpretations of education in the context of contemporary Okinawa as a site of neoliberal military-industrial development.

Considering how media educate consumers to accept the plans and policies of the powerful, it questions current concepts of development and the ideology that informs national security policies.

The book closely examines the signs, symbols, and rhetorical manipulations of language used in media to rationalize and justify a kind of development, which is the destruction of the environment in Henoko.
