{"title":"Compact colonialism: U.S. neocolonialism in Micronesia in the early twenty-first century","authors":"Edward Hunt","doi":"10.1080/13688790.2023.2261705","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13688790.2023.2261705","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTFor decades, the United States has administered compacts of free association with the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. Scholars have criticized the United States for using the compacts to limit the sovereignty of the compact states, but they have not determined how the compact states fit into the American empire in the Pacific Ocean. A review of the U.S. documentary record from the early twenty-first century indicates that the United States has ruled the compact states through its own particular form of neocolonialism, or ‘compact colonialism’. Under the compacts, the United States has exercised several powers, including military controls, political controls, economic controls, cultural influence and humanitarian indifference. With this neocolonial approach, the United States has exploited the compact states to maintain a large oceanic empire in the Pacific Ocean.KEYWORDS: Compact of free associationlarge ocean stateneocolonialismAmerican empireoceanic empire Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 U.S. Embassy Kolonia, ‘Farewell Reflections: A Special Relationship Requires Improved Aid Delivery; China Bids High’, 09KOLONIA123, 13 September 2009. https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09KOLONIA123_a.html.2 U.S. Embassy Kolonia, ‘Farewell Reflections: A Special Relationship Requires Improved Aid Delivery; China Bids High’, 09KOLONIA123, 13 September, 2009, https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09KOLONIA123_a.html.3 Thomas J McCormick, China Market: America’s Quest for Informal Empire, 1893–1901, Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1967; Bruce Cumings, Dominion from Sea to Sea: Pacific Ascendancy and American Power, New Haven: Yale University Press, 2009.4 David Hanlon, ‘The ‘Sea of Little Lands’: Examining Micronesia’s Place in ‘Our Sea of Islands’’, The Contemporary Pacific, 21(1), 2009, pp 91–110. https://doi.org/10.1353/cp.0.0042.5 Ganeshwar Chand, ‘The United States and the Origins of the Trusteeship System’, Review, 14(2), Spring 1991, pp 171–230; Hal M Friedman, Creating an American Lake: United States Imperialism and Strategic Security in the Pacific Basin, 1945-1947, Contributions in Military Studies, no. 198, Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 2001; Hal M Friedman, Governing the American Lake: The US Defense and Administration of the Pacific, 1945–1947, East Lansing: Michigan State University Press, 2007; Hal M Friedman, Arguing over the American Lake: Bureaucracy and Rivalry in the U.S. Pacific, 1945-1947, Williams-Ford Texas A&M University Military History Series, no. 126, College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2009; Kimie Hara, ‘Micronesia: ‘An American Lake,’’ in Cold War Frontiers in the Asia-Pacific: Divided Territories in the San Francisco System, London: Routledge, 2006, pp 100–123, https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203967003.6 U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Trusteeship Agreement for the Territory of the Pacific Isla","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135350880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on John Batman, often considered to be the founder of Melbourne, and a subject that has been commemorated in numerous forms. We explore the ways in which reified understandings of Batman were consolidated by these memorials. We argue that they provided a basis for the rampant settler colonialism that was initiated by his arrival in what became Melbourne. While the power of the Batman myth has endured for many years, we show how more recently it has been challenged by a range of art-inspired memorials that provide oppositional and alternative meanings and forms. We especially focus on the potency of counter-memorials, forms that directly address these older modes of commemoration, and anti-memorials, inventive installations that seek to dissolve singular meanings and continue the work of decentring outmoded commemorative forms and narratives.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85882799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And yet, if the object of historical study is musical sound, what can a ‘fevered’ approach to the archive tell us through the silence of its dusty materials? When adding in the further complexity of a colonial context, the archiving of what Stoler has termed the ‘imperial debris’ of empire brings up a further conundrum: that of what I call here the ‘audible debris’ of empire: i.e. the sonic traces of power and resistance through musical sound that are otherwise absent from traditional historical narratives. In this article, I examine nineteenth-century British attitudes about music at the South African mission station of Lovedale in order to interrogate what a ‘destabilised’ archival awareness can bring to postcolonial musical scholarship. I ask how the structures of colonial archiving that created the imperial historiography of Lovedale (the ‘archival imaginary’) have influenced and reinforced the ‘disciplining strains’ of Lovedale’s musical activities. In turn, I also consider how these ‘disciplining strains’ have created audible legacies that are themselves musical archives of imperial processes.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"166 1","pages":"360 - 385"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80468838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
