Such customs were analyzed in both their past and present contexts, and are documented to provide possible insights into more effective systems of acquiring and maintain- ing a sufficient supply of freshwater on Guam. -

Reading American Empire in Guam
“I Guess They Didn’t Want Us Asking Too Many Questions”: Reading American Empire in Guam Valerie Solar Woodward United States narratives about its island possession Guam have empha- sized notions of liberation and loyalty and uphold a picture of a benevo- lent and just America that provides freedom and opportunity to all who live under its flag. These narratives help to justify the current power regime and provide “authoritative narratives of the nation, delimit proper behavior of citizens, and sketch the parameters of the national imagina- tion”; however, it is important to note that “narratives of nationhood... are always unfinished projects” (Hein and Selden 2000, 3), and there are multiple channels through which a variety of narratives can be expressed. In this article, I examine texts by two authors that expand and sometimes challenge these narratives of Guam. The texts—Mariquita: A Tragedy of Guam by Chris Perez Howard (1986) and three poems from Craig Santos Perez’s book from unincorpo- rated territory: [hacha] (2008)—demonstrate how these two authors uti- lize and manipulate the rhetorics of liberation and patriotism in order to claim a space for their own distinct voices while dealing with the complex history of Guam, citizenship, and American empire. These two examples are intriguing because of the ways that they illuminate how US imperial- ism has cloaked itself through the rhetoric of constitutional law, patrio- tism, and liberation from Japanese militarism. Mariquita is a short biography regarding the tragic circumstances that the author’s mother experienced during the World War II occupation of Guam by the Imperial Japanese Army. -

LOBBAN Division of Natural Sciences, University of Guam, Mangilao, GU 96923 AND ANTOINE D.R. N’YEURT Université de la Polynésie française, Campus d’Outumaoro Bâtiment D B.P. 6570 Faa'a, 98702 Tahiti, French Polynesia Abstract—Artificial keys to the genera of blue-green, red, brown, and green marine benthic algae of Micronesia are given, including virtually all the genera reported from Palau, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Twenty-two new species or genera are reported here for Guam and 7 for Yap; 11 of these are also new for Micronesia. Note is made of several recent published records for Guam and 2 species recently raised from varietal status. Finally, a list is given of nomenclatural changes that affect the 2003 revised checklist (Micronesica 35-36: 54–99). An interactive version of the keys is included in the algal biodiversity website at www.uog.edu/ classes/botany/474. Introduction The seaweeds of Micronesia have been studied for over a century but no one has yet written a comprehensive manual for identifying them, nor does it seem likely that this will happen in the foreseeable future. In contrast, floras have recently been published for Hawai‘i (Abbott 1999, Abbott & Huisman 2004) and the South Pacific (Payri et al. 2000, Littler & Littler 2003). A few extensive or intensive works on Micronesia (e.g., Taylor 1950, Trono 1969a, b, Tsuda 1972) gave descriptions of the species in the style of a flora for particular island groups. -

Herman* Research Unit, Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, PO Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA Abstract National parks form an archipelago of government-run, on-site "museums," geographic sites of territorial and rhetorical nation-building. The War in the Pacific National Historical Park, which occupies seven parcels of land on the small island of Guam, celebrates the "freedom" that the U.S. brought to the region in World War II. But in fact, this landscape sits at the nexus of several contested territories. Guam was seized in the 1898 Spanish—American War—the final wave of American territorial expansion—and experienced 50 years of dictatorship under the U.S.
