Residents of this island and surrounding island groups are isolated from the rest of the world by distance, time and, for some, by relatively primitive means of communication. Until recently, the only non-military, English-language daily news- paper serving this three million-square-mile section of the world was the Pacific Daily News, one of the 82 publications of the Rochester, New York-based Gannett Co., Inc. This study will trace the history of journalism on Guam, particularly the Pacific Daily News. It will show that the Navy established the daily Navy News during reconstruction efforts follow- ing World War II. That newspaper was sold in l950 to Guamanian civilian Joseph Flores, who sold the newspaper in 1969 to Hawaiian entrepreneur Chinn Ho and his partner. The following year, they sold the newspaper now called the Pacific Daily News, along with their other holdings, to Gannett. Jacqueline Korona Teare This study will also examine the role of the Pacific Daily Ngw§_in its unique community and attempt to assess how the newspaper might better serve its multi-lingual and multi-cultural readership in Guam and throughout Micronesia.

  • Fact Sheet: Evacuating Our Allies from Afghanistan As the United States
    Fact Sheet: Evacuating our Allies from Afghanistan As the United States prepares to withdraw from Afghanistan no later than September 2021, our Afghan allies living in-country who have aided the United States face increasing danger. Threats and violence inflicted upon U.S. allies in Afghanistan is already well-documented. At least 300 interpreters have been killed since 2016, and the list of casualties will only grow longer if our allies who are eligible for SIVs are left unprotected once U.S. military support is gone. With a shortage of available visas and lengthy backlog processing delays, they cannot be left behind as potential targets of Taliban violence and reprisals. In the coming months, the United States must formulate a plan to evacuate these brave allies to safety as the U.S. draws down its own troops. This factsheet will discuss prior evacuations as evidence of our capability to perform another operation of that significance at this crucial time, with a focus on Guam as a viable site for the evacuation. What is a Special Immigrant Visa? A Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) is available to Afghan individuals who have worked as translators, interpreters, or other professionals employed by or on behalf of the United States government in Afghanistan for at least two years. Those who are eligible for SIVs and their dependents can apply through either of two programs, the translator/interpreter program, or through the broader Afghan national program. As one of multiple special immigrant categories, these programs are designed to benefit our allies in Afghanistan (and Iraq, for whom similar SIVs exist) by providing a direct pathway to a green card.

  • A Transpacific Perspective on Vietnamese Refuge Flight to The
    20 Militarized Refuge: A Transpacific Perspective on Vietnamese Refuge Flight to the United States Yen Le Espiritu Introduction Immigration has become a key symbol in contemporary American culture̶a central and powerful concept that is imbued with a multiplicity of myths and meanings, capable of rousing highly charged emotions that at times culminate in violently unfair practices. The myth of “immigrant America”̶the idea that the United States, as a nation of freedom, rights, and liberty and justice for all, constitutes the beacon for the world’s dispossessed ̶shores up the national narrative of U.S.-bound immigration as a unidirectional and voluntary phenomenon, one in which the poor and desperate of the world descend en masse on a wealthy and benevolent nation. It is this “push-pull” story̶of desperate individuals searching for the promised land̶that has emboldened politicians, anti-immigrant groups and media agencies to create “knowledge” of an everyday “reality” that the U.S. borders are out of control and that immigration is overwhelming U.S. public institutions and threatening U.S. core values and identity. In other words, the myth of “immigrant America” constitutes the underlying logic of anti-immigration rhetoric and practices. By portraying immigrants to the United States as a matter of desperate individuals seeking opportunities, the myth of “immigrant America” disregards the forcible inclusion of Native Americans, Mexican Americans and African Americans into the U.S. nation via conquest, annexation and slavery, and the fact that since at least World War II, migration to the United States “has been the product of specific economic, colonial, political, military, and/or ideological ties between the United States and other countries...as well as of war.”1） Given this history, to challenge anti-immigration rhetoric and practices, one would need to first expose the myth of immigrant America by emphasizing the role that “U.S.

Ho Chi Minh Johnson Vietminh Napalm Hanoi Agent Orange Vietnam terms Vietcong Tet Offensive for educators Saigon Richard Nixon Domino effect Vietnamization Battle of Dien Ho Chi Minh bien Phu Trail Geneva Fall of Saigon Conference Vietnamese John F. Boat People In the late 19th century, the present-day countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia made up the French colony of Indochina. These lands were desirable to the French because of their Vietnam War: fertile rice lands (Mekong and context & Red River deltas and coastal lowlands) and natural resources synopsis of rubber, silk, and spices. Under French colonial rule, Indochina suffered greatly: high illiteracy rates, religious persecution, poor healthcare and infrastructure, corrupt governance. French imperialism in Indochina Ho was a nationalist and a communist, whose name means “He Who Enlightens.” His appeals for Indochina’s sovereignty were rejected by President Wilson at post-World War I Paris Peace Conference. He lived in China and the Soviet Union where he was influenced by communist doctrine. He formed the League for the Ho Chi Minh Independence of Vietnam, or the Vietminh, which became the military power of communist north Vietnam, whose capital was Hanoi. Both US presidents Truman and Eisenhower saw Ho as a threat to U.S. Cold War goals and sought to topple him, however unsuccessfully. The domino effect, or Cold War fear that if one region (Indochina) became communist, others surrounding it would as well, justified Presidents Truman and Eisenhower’s decision to support and aid the French quest to maintain Indochina as its colony after World War II ended.

  • Archipelago of Resettlement: Vietnamese Refugee Settlers in Guam and Israel-Palestine
    Archipelago of Resettlement: Vietnamese Refugee Settlers in Guam and Israel-Palestine by Evyn Lê Espiritu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Trinh T. Minh-ha, Chair Professor Daniel Boyarin Professor Colleen Lye Professor Keith Feldman Summer 2018 Abstract Archipelago of Resettlement: Vietnamese Refugee Settlers in Guam and Israel-Palestine by Evyn Lê Espiritu Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric with a Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Trinh T. Minh-ha, Chair Archipelago of Resettlement charts the routes and roots of postwar Vietnamese refugees to two understudied sites of diasporic resettlement. From April to November 1975, the U.S. military processed over 112,000 Vietnamese refugees on Guam; from 1977 to 1979, Israel granted asylum and citizenship to 366 non-Jewish Vietnamese refugees. Theorizing the figure of the archipelago, this dissertation charts connections between non-contiguous, seemingly disparate sites of analysis. Despite important differences between these two case studies, Guam and Israel-Palestine are connected via two interrelated nodes of political violence. First, both are strategic sites of U.S. military empire. Second, both are spaces of settler colonialism. Vietnamese refugees absorbed into these spaces must grapple with what this dissertation calls the “refugee settler condition”: the vexed positionality of subjects whose very condition of political legibility via citizenship is predicated upon the unjust dispossession of an Indigenous population. Organized into three sections of two chapters each, Archipelago of Resettlement reconfigures understandings of both space and time.
