Beschreibung

Guam History explores the captivating story of Guam, a small island whose history reflects centuries of colonial ambition and strategic global importance. From the traditions of the Chamorro people to its role in the Spanish Empire, World War II, and beyond, the book examines how Guam's location shaped its destiny. Intriguing facts include the devastating impact of diseases introduced by Spanish colonizers on the Chamorro population and Guam's transformation into a crucial U.S. military base, impacting its economy and cultural identity.

 
The book traces Guam's journey from its pre-colonial heritage, highlighting Chamorro seafaring traditions, to Spanish colonization and the profound cultural shifts that followed. It then shifts to the 20th century, focusing on the Japanese occupation during World War II and the subsequent American recapture, which dramatically reshaped the island. The narrative concludes by examining Guam's current status as an unincorporated U.S. territory, addressing challenges related to sovereignty, economic development, and cultural preservation.

 
Drawing on diverse sources, Guam History offers a nuanced account of the island's past, making it valuable for anyone interested in Pacific history, colonialism, and globalization.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. 
     An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. 
     In this recording, Coughlin the plight of farmers, oppressive bankers, and a living wage for American workers.

    What is the purpose of art in a world on fire? In this exhilarating and deeply inspiring work, Amber Massie-Blomfield considers the work of artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers—such as Gran Fury, Billie Holiday, Alexis Wright, Claude Cahun, Rick Lowe, and Joseph Beuys—alongside collectives, communities, and organizations that have used protest sites as their canvas and spearheaded political movements. From writer Ken Saro Wiwa combating oil pollution in Nigeria and Susan Sontag directing Waiting for Godot in besieged Sarajevo to the women stitching subversive patchworks in Pinochet's Chile and the artist-activists who blocked the building of a new airport in France, with stories drawn from environmentalism, feminism, anti-fascism, and other movements, Acts of Resistance brings together remarkable acts of creativity that have shifted history on its axis.

    Black women continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair. 
     
     
     
    From grammar and high schools to corporate boardrooms and military squadrons, Black and Afro Latina natural hair continues to confound, transfix, and enrage members of White American society. Why, in 2022, is this still the case? Why have we not moved beyond that perennial racist emblem? And why are women so disproportionately affected? 
     
     
     
    Why does our hair become most palatable when it capitulates, and has been subjugated, to resemble Caucasian features as closely as possible? Who or what is responsible for the web of supervision and surveillance of our hair? Who in our society gets to author the prevailing constitution of professional appearance? 
     
      
     
    Particularly relevant during this time of emboldened White supremacy, racism, and provocative othering, this work explores how writing about one of the still-remaining systemic biases in schools, academia, and corporate America might lead to greater understanding and respect.
