Good Night Guam: A Sleepy Bedtime Rhyme

Destiny's Landfall: A History of Guam

from unincorporated territory [hacha] is the first book of native Chamorro poet Craig Santos Perez's ongoing series about his homeland, the Western Pacific Island of Guahan (Guam). Perez weaves avant-garde, eco-poetic, indigenous, documentary, multilingual, and abstract expressionist modes to tell the complex story of Guam's people, culture, history, politics, and ecologies. Since its original publication in 2008, [hacha] has received positive reviews, and it has been taught in universities throughout Asia, the Pacific, the United States, Canada, and Europe. This new and revised edition aims to bring the book to a new generation of readers.

Sirena is a young Chamorro girl who loves nature. She ignores her chores as usual to go swimming in the sparkling river, at a time in Guam's history when all is pristine. Her mother utters a curse that will forever change Sirena's life, unless her godmother can help. Based on a universal "tail" of the mystery and origin of mermaids, Sirena: A Mermaid Legend from Guam, is a retelling of a classic for the next generation of Chamorro children and all to dive into.

A Taste of Guam

The island of Guam was the first Allied territory lost to the Japanese onslaught in 1941. On 10 December 5,000 Japanese troops landed on Guam, defended by less than 500 US and Guamanian troops, the outcome was beyond doubt. On 21 July 1944 America returned. In a risky operation, the two US landing forces came ashore seven miles apart and it was a week before the beachheads linked up. Only the battles for Iwo Jima and Okinawa would cost the Americans more men than the landings on Guam and Saipan, which immediately preceded the Guam operation. In this book Gordon Rottman details the bitter 26-day struggle for this key Pacific island duringWorld War II (1939-1945).

The cover of this beautiful, slim 4" x 6" 50-page notebook features a lovely 1904 post route map of Hawaii, the Samoan Islands, and the Island of Guam. Here is some of the theory behind the beauty and potential of a blank page: "A person can get lost trying to find a home in herself-but then you simply begin to go on as one must go on, and maybe you say a little something to yourself every once in a while just to practice being with words, meeting silence, meeting yourself again, and maybe you frequent empty rooms to familiarize yourself with the meaning of space as in a blank page, and yourself in it, and maybe you scribble like this will help you come home to yourself, but eventually you fit things together, and what made no sense finds its way into something plausible by virtue of its sheer existence."

Between 1944 and 1949 the United States Navy held a war crimes tribunal that tried Japanese nationals and members of Guam's indigenous Chamorro population who had worked for Japan's military government. In "Sacred Men" Keith L. Camacho traces the tribunal's legacy and its role in shaping contemporary domestic and international laws regarding combatants, jurisdiction, and property. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben's notions of bare life and Chamorro concepts of retribution, Camacho demonstrates how the U.S. tribunal used and justified the imprisonment, torture, murder, and exiling of accused Japanese and Chamorro war criminals in order to institute a new American political order. This U.S. disciplinary logic in Guam, Camacho argues, continues to directly inform the ideology used to justify the Guantánamo Bay detention center, the torture and enhanced interrogation of enemy combatants, and the American carceral state.

The Guam Guide: What to See and Do on the Island

Set in the turbulent period of Guam history, between the Spanish-American War and World War II, the lives and loves of three Chamorro women are told in vivid detail. A navy seaman leaves young Amanda de Leon broken hearted. For Sylvia de Leon Camacho, happiness ends too soon. Life teaches the level-headed Vivian Camacho that falling for an American serviceman is futile, like reaching for the moon. Cultural and racial prejudices magnify the distance. Trying to build a life with one is as impossible as building a mansion on the moon. Then a navy civil engineer comes into Vivian's life.

Kirkus Review: 
 The extensive cultural descriptions specific to Guam and its people add a depth and singularity...preventing this wartime romance from coming across as trite. While Gault tackles weighty political issues...she also manages to tell a story that is simultaneously wistful and uplifting.

Blueink Review: 
 ...An engaging romance with wonderfully written and fully realized characters...The author's strong voice is never more evident than when she describes the...changes from a peaceful community and military outpost to an island ravaged by World War II...both stories are dramatic, heart-wrenching but eventually uplifting.

Foreword Review: 
 ...The emotional power of the intricate tale carries the story...A Mansion on the Moon does not gloss over racial bigotry and prejudices, adding a realistic layer to this hopeful tale...Despite its tragic opening, the novel soars to dramatic heights as it illustrates that love can indeed conquer all...
