The Carolina, Mariana and Marshall Islands have experienced world
war, atomic weapons testing and varying brands of colonialism in
the 20th century. Following the seizure of the islands from Japan,
agencies of the US government sought to better possess and control
the area through a series of developmental initiatives.
Interdisciplinary in its approach, this text goes beyond the
liberal discourse surrounding modernity to examine what economic
development actually entailed. It explores in ethnographic terms
how different groups of island people responded to development
programmes in multiple, complex, layered and sometimes conflicting
ways that reflected their own historical experiences and cultural
understandings.
