Abstract

The article "The Afterbirth of Empire" by Christine Taitano DeLisle explores the experiences of women in Guam under U.S. colonialism. DeLisle argues that Guamanian women, particularly CHamoru women in roles such as midwives, nurses, and educators, created a new version of CHamoru womanhood that adapted to colonization while resisting oppressive systems. The author emphasizes the importance of studying women within the context of empire, postcolonialism, and indigeneity, and highlights the significance of Indigenous actors and knowledge in women's history. The article also examines the complexities of colonial rule in Guam and the ways in which women navigated and challenged these systems. [Extracted from the article]
