Militarized Welfare: A Genealogy of "Relief" in Okinawa Under U.S. Military Rule, by Asako Masubuch, Supporting a Smooth Occupation Regime

According to the author, previous research on medical health in postwar Okinawa has often been presented as a "progressive history narrative" in which medical professionals who followed the wishes of the U.S. military contributed to the recovery of Okinawan society. There is a clear distinction between military violence and medical and welfare work, and an analytical framework that considers them to be on different levels.
