Can you identify this book?

Post by Phaedra »

My instructor lent me some photocopied chapters from a book last week, and it was an interesting read, but for some obscure reason he won't tell me where its from. All he said was that the book was Okinawan.

I would really like to be able to read the rest of it, so I'd be very happy if anyone can identify it.
