Sinopsis

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.

    Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion―over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told. 
     
    In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices. 
     
    Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.

    On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
     
     
     
    At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
     
     
     
    What went wrong? 
     
     
     
    Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.
