Re-storying Law and Development in Oceania
The Pacific is vast, and its people and places woven into a rich array of cultures, ecologies, and legal systems. However, development discourses emanating from Global North institutions consistently portray the region in homogenised terms, as a series of small, underdeveloped, and under-governed islands dotting an empty expanse of ocean. This chapter draws on a rich vein of Pacific scholarship to highlight the effects of these dominant portrayal…

Genealogizing Pō
The first half of this article draws from the keynote lecture delivered by Joyce Pualani Warren in which she theorizes an Indigenous Pacific conception of origins that encompasses notions of Blackness and kinship. Warren argues that using knowledge of Pō can offer a model of kinship and enhanced support for Indigeneity and Indigenous futures. The second half of this article features Warren's response to questions and prompts posed by Keith L. Cam…

Cultures of Commemoration: The Politics of War, Memory, and History in the Mariana Islands
In 1941 the Japanese military attacked the US naval base Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu. Although much has been debated about this event and the wider American and Japanese involvement in the war, few scholars have explored the Pacific War's impact on Pacific Islanders. Cultures of Commemoration fills this crucial gap in the historiography by advancing scholarly understanding of Pacific Islander relations with and knowledge of Ameri…

Homomilitarism
This article examines articulations for and against gay marriage in the successful legalization of Bill 232 in Hawai'i and in the failed passage of Bill 185 in Guam to signal a profound ideological shift in the US colonization of these locations. The article likens this shift to a discursive and material process it calls "homomilitarism," wherein the same-sex erotics of gay marriage have emerged to confront and reproduce the dominant paradigm of …

After 9/11: Militarized Borders and Social Movements in the Mariana Islands
In this essay, I provide an ethnographic study of militarization and social movements in the aftermath of 9/11. Drawing on activist, government, media, and military sources, I examine the roles of social movements in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the U.S. unincorporated territory of Guam. As colonies of America's most westernmost "border," the CNMI and Guam constitute the Mariana Islands. I argue that this archi…

This book fills this gap by advancing scholarly understanding of Pacific Islander relations with and knowledge of American and Japanese colonialisms in the twentie…
Excerpt from Militarized Currents: Toward a Decolonized Future in Asia and the Pacific
Foregrounding indigenous and feminist scholarship, this collection analyzes militarization as an extension of colonialism from the late twentieth to the twenty-first century in Asia and the Pacific. The contributors theorize the effects of militarization across former and current territories of Japan and the United States, demonstrating that the relationship between militarization and colonial subordination shapes bodies of memory, knowledge, and…
Transoceanic Flows: Pacific Islander Interventions across the American Empire
Pacific Islanders seldom figure prominently in discussions of the United States empire, itself a frequently disavowed apparatus of white economic, military, and political supremacy. Whether construed as products of genocidal removal, national amnesia, or political marginalization, Pacific Islanders frequently remain in the fringes of this nation-state. Yet they will play vital roles in the making and unmaking of American empire from the late nine…

Uncomfortable Fatigues: Chamorro Soldiers, Gendered Identities, And The Question Of Decolonization In Guam
This chapter examines the formation of militarized masculinities in Guam, with particular emphasis on the interrelated processes of militarization and masculinization among the territory’s Chamorro men in the U.S. military. It considers the voices of decolonization activists, military recruiters, and soldiers who speak to the complex conditions of their gendered incorporation into the U.S. military and how they struggle against and with their sub…
