Ulithi Atoll, Micronesia: Recalling the Past, Reaffirming the Future

Through the collaborative efforts of Dr. Rebecca A. Stephenson, Dr. Mary L. Spencer, and 12 contributing authors, this book explores various aspects of life, culture, economics, human development, island challenges, and ecology in the Ulithi Atoll, which consists of the islets Mogmog, Asor, Falalop, Fasserai, and Lossau. The book traces the successive periods of competitive explorers and traders; the Spanish, German, Japanese, and US colonial periods; and significantly, Ulithi’s emergence into its self-governing status within Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia. It also has two extensive bibliographies, commentary, figures, and photographs.
