Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Goetzfridt’s work demonstrates the dynamics of history, each generation considering past events in light of current realities and contemporary understandings of the world. This volume, therefore, is important not simply because it provides us with an invaluable and substantial fount of references that will be supremely useful to teachers, scholars, and all enthusiasts of Mariana Islands history. Its importance lies also in its packaging as a resource for current and future generations to understand the changing face and contested space of Guam history." —from the Foreword by Anne Perez Hattori Blending bibliographic integrity with absorbing essays on a wide range of historical interpretations, Nicholas Goetzfridt offers a new approach to the history of Guam. Here is a treasure trove of ideas, historiographies, and opportunities that allows readers to reassess previously held notions and conclusions about Guam’s past and the heritage of the indigenous Chamorro people. Particular attention is given to Chamorro perspectives and the impact of more than four hundred years of colonial presences on Micronesia’s largest island. Extensive cross-references and generous but targeted samples of historical narratives compliment the bibliographic essays. Detailed Name and Subject Indexes to the book’s 326 entries cover accounts and interpretations of the island from Ferdinand Magellan’s "discovery" of Guahan ("Guam" in the Chamorro language) in 1521 to recent events, including the Japanese occupation and the American liberation of Guam in 1944. The indexes enable easy and extensive access to a bounty of information. The Place Index contains both large and localized geographic realms that are placed vividly in the context of these histories. An insightful Foreword by Chamorro scholar Anne Perez Hattori is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guam, Marianas Islands, December 11, 1948 at 2020 hours. Ruth Farnsworth (soon to be married to a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps), was working part time in the MARBO area Jade Shop. During that evening a tragedy count down clock began ticking. There were five distinct count down times running on the clock before she was brutally beaten unconscious and taken to the jungle where she was raped and left to die. Beginning at 1900 hours and ending at 2135 hours, a few minutes of time or a changed routine could have saved Ruth's life. She lost all five chances for life and never regained consciousness to tell what happened to her. The subject of a forty-hour search, Ruth Farnsworth's bloody unconscious body, gasping for air, was found in a jungle clearing at 1100 hours on December 13, 1948. Ruth died eight minutes after midnight on December 14, 1948 at the 22nd Army Hospital, Guam, Marianas Islands. A month later in January 1949, three U.S. Air Force airmen were apprehended and charged with the rape murder of Ruth Farnsworth a 27-years-old U.S. Navy civil service worker. The murder and courts-martial (three separate trials) in May and June of 1949 made national news coverage from December 1948 through 1954. Now over fifty years later, unpublished official data related to the murder and trials, obtained under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act can be told. The story is based on information from 5,000 pages of official documents (many formerly classified as confidential or secret) and a construction supply supervisor who worked on the Andersen Air Force Base, Guam Project. The setting for the crime and trials was Guam, the largest and most populated of the mid-pacific Marianas Islands. The island was a land of coral reefs, jungles, barren land, fertile valleys, military airfields and bases, and sunken World War II ships in harbors. A United States Possession it fell into Japanese hands on December 12, 1941 and was liberated by the landing of U.S. Marines on July 20, 1944. In less than two years after the defeat of Japan, with the threat of the cold war, it was the site of massive military construction of airfields and deep water harbors. However the civilian population of the United States, tired of war, paid little attention to the construction of strategic airfields, missile launching sites and harbors in the mid-pacific islands. As unincorporated territory of the United States its 1948 population was estimated at 55,000 to 58,000 persons. Of the total population 27,000 were Guamanian and Filipino ancestry and most of the remaining being American military and civilian workers. Even though the WWII occupation by Japan had ended several years earlier a small number of Japanese soldiers, who never surrendered, remained in the hills and jungles. Guam, an outpost of the American system of defense had been administered by a U.S. Navy Governor since early 1899 following the Spanish American War...

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.
