For nearly fifty years, US government officials have identified
Belau, in western Micronesia, as a key strategic site and have
implemented administrative policies designed to maintain permanent
access to Belau's land, reefs and waters for military purposes.
Elder women placed themselves at the forefront of opposition to
these policies, and, as part of oppositional efforts, successfully
entered international political arenas. "Speaking to Power" moves
beyond examining the impact of militarism and colonial
administrative policy in Belau and draws on feminist poststructural
analysis to explore the fluidity of contests in constructions of
"gender," "politics," and "tradition" during US administration in
Belau.
Wilson offers a compelling ethnography that incorporates critical
questions about US military and administrative policy in Belau,
introduces contemporary analytical debates concerning power in an
accessible way, and examines power relations in local, national and
international politics. She challenges conventional approaches to
ethnography, addresses power relations within the process of her
own research and writing, and effectively uses this reflexive text
to experiment with alternative forms of representation and
ethnographic writing.

Addressing global climate change is a monumental battle that can
only be fought by the leaders of tomorrow, but future leaders are
molded through education and shaped by the leaders of today. While
the pivotal role of education in spreading awareness of climate
change is one universally espoused, equally universal is the
recognition that current education efforts are falling woefully
short. Promoting Climate Change Awareness through Environmental
Education stems the rising tide of shortcomings in environmental
education by plugging a known gap in current research and opening a
dialogue for the future. Targeting an audience of young scholars,
academics, researchers, and policymakers, this volume provides a
much needed dam of empirical evidence regarding the role of youth
education in addressing one of the greatest challenges of our age.
This timely publication focuses on topics such as building
resilience to climate change, green learning spaces, gender issues
and concerns for developing countries, and the impact of young
adults on the future of environmental sustainability.
