Abstract 0001467This project will investigate the social construction of race, ethnicity, and nationhood in the US Territory of Guam. The researcher will analyze how the indigenous Chamorro incorporate, negotiate, and resist colonial discourses in their current struggles to define their political identity vis a vis the United States. It will also analyze how "race" figures within this political identity and struggle. The three decolonization "task forces" that represent major political positions on the island will be the focus of the project. Methods include participant observation, structured interviewing, linguistic analysis of the talk and narrative of political activists, and social network analysis. An analysis of the written material of the activists will be used to reconstruct how identity is negotiated and "racialized" in this context. This project will contribute to our understanding of identity (including race) construction and political activism in the postcolonial world.

摘要：本项目将调查美国关岛领土的种族、民族和国家地位的社会建构。研究人员将分析如何土著查莫罗纳入，谈判，并抵制殖民话语在他们目前的斗争，以确定他们的政治身份相对于美国。它还将分析“种族”如何在这种政治认同和斗争中发挥作用。代表该岛主要政治立场的三个非殖民化“工作队”将是该项目的重点。方法包括参与观察、结构化访谈、对政治活动家的谈话和叙述的语言分析以及社会网络分析。分析活动人士的书面材料，将用来重建身份如何在这种情况下谈判和“种族化”。这个项目将有助于我们理解后殖民世界的身份（包括种族）建构和政治活动。
