BY AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE

Brief Description:
In 1898, the United States became the ruling power in some Pacific and Caribbean islands including Cuba, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and American Samoa. U.S. involvement significantly altered the course of history for these countries. Who are the people of these island nations and how have they responded to U.S. influence? Resistance in Paradise was planned and written by a team of educators and activists that included people from each country. Designed as a resource for high school and college classrooms, community groups, faith communities. Each chapter in Resistance in Paradise provides a historical overview, selected readings from original source materials.
