Micronesians often liken the Pacific War to a typhoon, one that
swept away their former lives and brought dramatic changes to their
understandings of the world and their places in it. Yet Pacific War
histories scarcely mention the Islanders across whose lands and
seas the fighting waged.""Memories of War"" sets out to fill that
historical gap by presenting the missing voices of Micronesians and
by viewing those years from their perspectives. The focus is on
Micronesian remembrances - the ritual commemorations, features of
the landscape, stories, dances, and songs that keep their memories
of the conflict alive. The inclusion of numerous and extensive
interviews and songs is an important feature of this book, allowing
Micronesians to speak for themselves about their experiences. In
addition, they also reveal distinctively Micronesian cultural
memories of war.
