Ryan Yokota鈥檚 current research focus is on comparative transnational ethnic studies
in both East Asia and in the U.S., with a focus on Uchin膩nchu (Okinawans) under Japanese
and American colonialism, Asian Latin Americans and Asians in Latin America, and Japanese
American/Asian American history. His previous research focused on Okinawan post-World
War II nationalism and included a focus on movements for independence, movements for
regional autonomy, and the current push to redefine Okinawan identity as indigenous.
