Practicing decolonial political geography
The Banality of American Empire
The title of a 2004 New York Times article sums up well the curious political existence of the island of Guam: "Looking for friendly base overseas, Pentagon finds it already has one." Guam is known as the "tip of America's spear" and has for more than a century played a crucial role in securing US strategic interests in the Asia-Pacific region. Guam is also one of seventeen remaining colonies in the world, as recognized by the United Nations, in …
Guam
In 2009, the US Department of Defense outlined their plans to dramatically increase their military presence in Guam, a Micronesian island that has been a colony of the United States since 1898. This move of several thousand Marines currently stationed in Okinawa represented the most recent instance whereby the United States intends to "sharpen" what its military planners have referred to as "the tip of their spear" leveled against potential threa…

Efforts to "protect and defend" Pågat, a sacred site on the northeastern coast of Guåhan, focus on ancestral land, language and cultur…

The Exceptional Life And Death Of A Chamorro Soldier
This chapter suggests that the invisibility of Guam historically and contemporaneously is representative of what it describes as the “banal coloniality” of its official “organized unincorporated” status as a territory of the United States. On an island where the U.S. military controls one third of the territory and has a century of militarization and colonialism in support of its occupation, the effects of militarizing impulses and inconsistencie…
