Must-reads: Indigenous Pacific Islander scholarship
The following texts have shaped me as a Chamoru and Indigenous Pacific Islander scholar:
Daughters of the Island: CHamoru Women Organizers of Guåhan and Other Writings by Laura M. Torres Souder
bikinis and other s/pacific n/oceans by Teresia Teaiwa
Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith
