DESCRIPTION:At the southern end of the Japanese archipelago lies Okinawa, host to a 
 vast complex of U.S. military bases. A legacy of World War II, these bases 
 have been a fraught issue for decades—with tensions exacerbated by the 
 often volatile relationship between islanders and the military, especially 
 after the brutal rape of a 12-year-old girl by three servicemen in 1995. In 
 Night in the American Village, Akemi Johnson takes readers deep into the 
 “border towns” surrounding the bases—a world where cultural and 
 political fault lines compel individuals, both Japanese and American, to 
 continually renegotiate their own identities.\n\nJoining Akemi in 
 conversation is author of Green Island and former Fulbright scholar, Shawna 
 Yang Ryan. In a story that sweeps across six decades and two continents, 
 Green Island traces the course of Taiwan's history, from the end of 
 Japanese colonial rule, to the decades under martial law, and finally to 
 Taiwan’s transformation into a democracy. This lush, lyrical novel 
 depicts a family and a nation grappling with the nuances of complicity and 
 survival, raising the question: How far would you be willing to go for the 
 ones you love?\n\nRSVP to receive the Zoom link to participate in the live 
 Q&A! The event will also be streamed via YouTube Live.\n
