Book Synopsis History of the Mariana Islands by : S J
Download or read book History of the Mariana Islands written by S J and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histoire des isles Marianes (History of the Mariana Islands), was published in Paris in 1700 with authorship attributed to French Jesuit priest Charles Le Gobien, S.J. It provides a detailed glimpse into a tumultuous and critically significant period in the history of the Mariana Islands and the CHamoru people--the period commonly referred to as the CHamoru-Spanish Wars. It includes detailed accounts of the first 30 years of the Jesuit mission in the Marinas. It also features speeches by CHamoru chiefs, including the famous speech by Maga'låhi Hurao that is etched onto the wall at the entrance of the Guam Museum. Using research conducted in several national and international archives in Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, and at the Richard F. Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center in Guam, Alexandre Coello de la Rosa produced this English translation of the first Spanish edition of Le Gobien's text. This present edition also stems from a manuscript preserved in the Arxiu de la Companyia de Jesus a Catalunya archive in Barcelona, with authorship attributed to Spanish Jesuit priest Luis de Morales, S.J., who had been part of the Jesuit mission to the Marianas in the late 1600s. Thus, this text calls into question Le Gobien's authorship. This edition opens with an in-depth introduction analyzing the context of the publication's history, as well as its significance over time. The book also features annotated notes that expand the narrative by providing details about the history of the Jesuit mission in the Marianas.

Book Synopsis Cultures of Commemoration by : Keith L. Camacho
Download or read book Cultures of Commemoration written by Keith L. Camacho and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1941 the Japanese military attacked the US naval base Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of O‘ahu. Although much has been debated about this event and the wider American and Japanese involvement in the war, few scholars have explored the Pacific War’s impact on Pacific Islanders. Cultures of Commemoration fills this crucial gap in the historiography by advancing scholarly understanding of Pacific Islander relations with and knowledge of American and Japanese colonialisms in the twentieth century. Drawing from an extensive archival base of government, military, and popular records, Chamorro scholar Keith L Camacho traces the formation of divergent colonial and indigenous histories in the Mariana Islands, an archipelago located in the western Pacific and home to the Chamorro people. He shows that US colonial governance of Guam, the southernmost island, and that of Japan in the Northern Mariana Islands created competing colonial histories that would later inform how Americans, Chamorros, and Japanese experienced and remembered the war and its aftermath. Central to this discussion is the American and Japanese administrative development of "loyalty" and "liberation" as concepts of social control, collective identity, and national belonging. Just how various Chamorros from Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands negotiated their multiple identities and subjectivities is explored with respect to the processes of history and memory-making among this "Americanized" and "Japanized" Pacific Islander population. In addition, Camacho emphasizes the rise of war commemorations as sites for the study of American national historic landmarks, Chamorro Liberation Day festivities, and Japanese bone-collecting missions and peace pilgrimages. Ultimately, Cultures of Commemoration demonstrates that the past is made meaningful and at times violent by competing cultures of American, Chamorro, and Japanese commemorative practices.

Book Synopsis The Scientific Bases for Preservation of the Mariana Crow by : National Research Council
Download or read book The Scientific Bases for Preservation of the Mariana Crow written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-07 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, while focusing on current preservation challenges posed by the Aga, or Mariana crow, also reflects the larger issues and challenges of biodiversity conservation in all oceanic island ecosystems. It evaluates causes for the continuing decline of the Aga, which exists on only the two southernmost islands in the Mariana archipelago, Guam and Rota, and reviews actions to halt or reverse the decrease. This book reminds us of the importance and challenge of preserving the unique environmental heritage of islands of the Mariana archipelago, the need for increased knowledge to restore and maintain native species and habitats, and the compelling and lasting value of extensive public education to stimulate environmentally informed public policy development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over forty years now, the Northern Mariana Islands has governed itself as a "commonwealth" of the UnitedStates pursuant to the Northern Marianas Covenant. My first book, From Colonialism To Self-Government: TheNorthern Marianas Experience, was published in 2010.The Fundamental Issues Affecting the Northern Mariana Islands discusses in greater detail the politicalarrangement between the United States and the Northern Marianas. It highlights and discusses some ofthe fundamental issues affecting the Northern Marianas as a self-governing commonwealth within the Americanpolitical family. The first set of issues includes its geographical isolation, small land area, small population, lack of natural resources, and lack of capital required for economic development. The second set of issues relates to local self-governance and matters of qualification and competency of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) public officials, both elected and appointed.In order for the CNMI to succeed as a self-governing commonwealth, several fundamental matters have to be addressed and issues related to such matters have to corrected by its leaders. The first major subject relates to the fragile, insular economy of the CNMI. Its only viableindustry has been the visitor industry, which is buffeted often by natural disasters, regional and international financial crises, public health crises, and so forth. The second major subject relates to self-governance matters, which should be addressed through public education, seminars on government ethics, and active enforcement of the law, and so forth.Unless these fundamental issues are addressed and resolved, the CNMI experiment in self government might end up being a failure. And we should never allow this to happen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Mariana Islands is a U.S. commonwealth located in the western Pacific Ocean. The archipelago consists of 15 islands, including the islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. The islands cover a total area of approximately 179 square miles, and they are located to the northeast of Guam. The islands are a popular tourist destination, known for their beautiful beaches and thriving coral reefs. The indigenous people of the Northern Mariana Islands are known as the Chamorro people, and they have a rich cultural heritage with a history that stretches back thousands of years. The Northern Mariana Islands have a unique political status as a U.S. commonwealth. This means that the islands are self-governing, but they still maintain a close relationship with the United States. The islands have their own government, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which has its own constitution and system of laws. The islands also have a representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, but they do not have voting representation in the U.S. Senate. The economy of the islands is largely driven by tourism, as well as by the garment industry and agriculture. The islands also have a significant military presence, with strategic locations and bases on the islands.
