Daughters is a critical study of the historical roles and contributions of CHamoru women in Guåhan and their complex negotiations of the shifting cultural and political landscapes of kostumbren CHamoru under Spanish, American, and Japanese colonialisms. Writing from the authoritative vantage point as hågan håga’ “blood daughter,” and based on extensive oral history and archival work, Souder weaves a story of CHamoru women’s resilience against western (outsider) narratives and colonial myths and binaries of the taotao tåno’ as passive victims of colonial assimilation. Daughters is a fine example of the need to revise how we understand our past. As well, it represents the imperative and obligatory Indigenous project of decolonizing and indigenizing histories in academia and beyond. Centering the stories and lived experiences of contemporary CHamoru women organizers, Souder argues that despite colonizing and modernizing forces, CHamoru women continue their role as culture bearers in maintaining language and tradition. While she draws heavily on feminist theory, she is also careful not to ascribe feminist labels on the women in her study; instead, Souder reads and interprets what is feminist about the organizing and community work they do.
