  • Change and the Construction of Identity in the US
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: “THE SQUADRON UNDER YOUR COMMAND”: CHANGE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN THE U.S. NAVY’S NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON, 1874-1897 James C. Rentfrow, PhD, 2012 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida Department of History This dissertation examines the transformation of the United States Navy as a fighting organization that took place on the North Atlantic Station between 1874 and 1897. At the beginning of this period, the warships assigned to this station were collectively administered by a rear-admiral, but were operationally deployed as individual units, each of whose actions were directed by their captains. By 1897 the North Atlantic, or “Home” Squadron as it was known, was a group of warships constituting a protean battle fleet – that is, an organized body moving and fighting in close-order, which meant that the actions of the captains were directed by a commanding admiral. The development of an American battle fleet resulted in the construction of a new organizational identity for the North Atlantic Squadron. This process was as critical as the eventual outcome. It was not linear, but one in which progress in critical areas was modulated by conflicting demands that caused distraction. From 1874-1888, exercises in fleet tactics under steam were carried out sporadically utilizing existing wooden cruising vessels. From 1889-1894, the last wooden cruisers were decommissioned and the Squadron consisted entirely of new steel warships. Ad-hoc concentrations of vessels for purposes besides exercise and training retarded the continued development of doctrine and tactics necessary for a multi-ship fighting capability during this time.

  • “Racism” and Colonialism: Meanings of Difference and Ruling Practices in America’S Pacific Empire
    P1: GCY Qualitative Sociology [quso] PH243-quas-477915 February 9, 2004 11:46 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002 Qualitative Sociology, Vol. 27, No. 1, Spring 2004 (C 2004) “Racism” and Colonialism: Meanings of Difference and Ruling Practices in America’s Pacific Empire Julian Go This article examines the meanings of “race” and difference in the first years of American colonialism in the Philippines, Guam, and Samoa. Moving beyond exist- ing sociological studies of “race” and “colonial discourse,”I demonstrate that the meanings of racial difference in the U.S. Pacific empire were contemporaneously polyvalent, constituting an overarching field of multiple rather than uniform classi- fications. The different meanings formed the basis for intra-imperial debate among colonizing agents. They also contributed to notable variations in forms of colonial governance and policy across the empire. The implication for future study is that “race” should best be apprehended as a “code” that takes on specific meanings and obtains its social force only in particular contexts of use and utterance.

  • Navy Blues: US Naval Rule on Guam and the Rough Road to Assimilation, 1898-1941
    Navy Blues: US Naval Rule on Guam And The Rough Road to Assimilation, 1898-1941 Anne Perez Hattori University of Guam Abstract Before turning control of Guam over to the Department of Interior in 1950, the US Navy published the US Navy Report on Guam, 1899-1950, summarizing its achievements as the island's administrators since 1898. In it, the Chief of Naval Operations depicted Chamorros as a physically, intellectually, and culturally backwards people whose lives focused on achieving nothing more than the bare minimum requirements of survival. To deal with such a forlorn people, the Navy enunciated for itself a fourfold agenda “to rehabilitate, to organize, to administer, and to make productive” the Chamorros. The colonial project, therefore, sought not simply to rule over the Island’s government, but more broadly to transform the bodies and minds of its natives. This paper interrogates naval efforts to implement its goals, examining the rich cache of naval records to underscore the tangle of political, economic, and cultural issues that faced Guam's 20th century colonizers. Before turning control of the island over to the Department of Interior in 1950, the US Navy published the US Navy Report on Guam, 1899-1950, summarizing Guam’s prevailing political, economic, educational, and health conditions, in particular boasting of its phenomenal achievements as the island's administrator since 1898. In this report, the Chief of Naval Operations described the Chamorro people of Guam as: A population so abused and oppressed over the centuries, so disease-infested, so isolated from the world, so haunted by superstition, that it was a listless, ambitionless, unorganized mass of humanity stirred only by the hope for individual survival.

  • Contextualizing Mabini's Incarceration in Gu
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Colonial Boundaries of Exilic Discourse: Contextualizing Mabini’s Incarceration in Guåhan A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Asian American Studies by Josephine Faith Ong 2019 © Copyright by Josephine Faith Ong 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Colonial Boundaries of Exilic Discourse: Contextualizing Mabini’s Incarceration in Guåhan (1901-1903) by Josephine Faith Ong Master of Arts in Asian American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Keith L. Camacho, Chair Abstract The writings of Filipino revolutionary Apolinario Mabini, incarcerated in Asan Beach on Guåhan from 1901-1903, continue to have political implications today, as evidenced by Chamorro-led pushback against Filipino-sponsored Mabini memorials in the village of Asan. Much of this debate is centered around differences between Chamorro and Filipino memories about Asan that stem from the U.S. military’s containment and disavowal of their cultural connections. Using a combination of archival and oral history analysis, I unpack the persisting political implications of Mabini’s incarceration on Chamorro-Filipino historical relations. In centering Chamorro genealogical ties to place and Filipinos’ histories of colonization, I argue that restoration of inafa’maolek or mutual relations between Chamorros and Filipinos lies in countering the colonial division of their cultural connections and histories. ii The thesis of Josephine Faith Ong is approved.
