This one-hundred-year history of the island of Guåhan, also known as Guam, charts how Indigenous CHamorus and Filipino migrants navigated and negotiated the expansion of US imperialism and militarism in the Pacific. Throughout the twentieth century, CHamorus and Filipinos living in Guåhan expressed their discontent with the inequities created by the US empire. Instead of partaking in outright anticolonial movements, they advocated for liberal solutions such as individual rights, land ownership, economic opportunities, and US citizenship. In Territorial Discontent , Kristin Oberiano unravels this entangled history and exposes the limitations of liberalism in anticolonial resistance. Tracing the long history of CHamoru-Filipino relations, from the exile of Filipino revolutionaries to Guåhan to the burgeoning CHamoru self-determination movement, Territorial Discontent grapples with the varied motives that propelled CHamorus and Filipinos to rely on the limited liberal promise of freedom. Oberiano reveals that implementing these solutions for one group too often required the continued colonization of the other, entrenching US colonialism in Guåhan and enflaming tensions between CHamorus and Filipinos. Examining these antagonisms, Oberiano argues that building relationships with the CHamoru virtue of inafa’maolek —“to make good”—can nurture CHamoru-Filipino solidarities and illuminate alternative possibilities for Guåhan’s ongoing decolonization movement. “An eloquent narrative, rich with complexity and historical texture, and a welcome resource for readers in Guåhan, Turtle Island, and beyond.”—Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi, author of Archipelago of Resettlement: Vietnamese Refugee Settlers and Decolonization Across Guam and Israel-Palestine “A lesson in the possibilities of enacting solidarity where structures of colonialism have continually endeavored to make it an impossibility.”—Simeon Man, author of Soldiering Through Empire: Race and the Making of the Decolonizing Pacific Strength in solidarity Kristin Oberiano is assistant professor of history at Wesleyan University.
