This book focuses on the waves of Namoluk migration and the ties that bind migrants to their home community. It looks at kinship and social structure, informal networks of sharing news and gossip, the rise in education for both men and women, and the impact of alcohol and tobacco on native society.
This case study examines emigrants from Namoluk Atoll in the Eastern caroline islands of Micronesia, in the Western pacific. Most members of the Namoluk Community (cbon Namoluk) do not currently live there. some 60 percent of them have moved to chuuk, Guam, Hawai''i, or the mainland United states (such as Eureka, California). The question is how (and why) those expatriates contine to think of themselves as cbon Namoluk, amd behave accodingly, despite being a far-flung network of people, with inevitable erosions of shared language and culture.
