This book is a researched study of land issues in American Samoa
that analyzes the impact of U.S. colonialism and empire building in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Carefully tracing changes
in land laws up to the present, this volume also draws on a careful
examination of legal traditions, administrative decisions, court
cases and rising tensions between indigenous customary land tenure
practices in American Samoa and Western notions of individual
private ownership. It also highlights how unusual the status of
American Samoa is in its relationship with the U.S., namely as the
only "unincorporated" and "unorganized" overseas territory, and
aims to expand the U.S. empire-building scholarship to include and
recognize American Samoa into the vernacular of Americanization
projects.
