A photo book "The Island Where People Live (English Edition)" by Shoko Ahane (1901-2002), who is known as an anti-war activist in Okinawa. Shoko Ahane who moved to Cuba and Peru as an immigrant, returned to Okinawa in 1934, moved to Ie Island and engaged in agriculture. Ie Island was the first island to be attacked during the Pacific War, and after the war, residents were forced to evict due to the construction of a training base by the US military. Residents rebelled, but the land was requisitioned by the US military's "gun sword and bulldozer," and those who lost their homes were forced to live in tents, with many casualties. Ahagon confronted the US military non-violently to regain their land. This book is a record of the Iejima land struggle taken by Ahagon. The remains of the crushed houses, the state of living in a tent, the activities of the petition group and the state of the struggle such as the residents' convention are projected. It is not as rough as the documentary of the university struggle, but it records the appearance of people who confronted the problems of Okinawa that are still in existence today. English edition.
