Subject: war, loyalty, native subjectivity, etc.


Hello:

I'm doing a paper on World War II commemorations in the Pacific 
Islands.  Issues of war memories, colonial histories, national 
identities and so forth arise in my disscussion of these 
commemorations.  As you know, military histories dominate the study of 
this war in the Pacific.  They often talk about big countries, big guns 
and big guys.  But I'm interested in native folks and their 
understandings of this war.  Can anyone suggest, then, readings that 
theorize notions of "native loyalty," "native memory," and perhaps 
even "native colonial patriotism?"  Works that deal within the contexts 
of war and war commemoration will be greatly appreciated.  But I'm open 
to anything.  Thank you in advance.  Sincerely, Keith
