The author also wrote the FSM preamble.......................................................................................... Micronesia at the Crossroads: A Reappraisal of the Micronesian Political Dilemma. ~ By Carl Heine exerpt from the book: "This book...is about the Micronesia that I, a Micronesian have come to know. It is not necessarily the Micronesia that officials Washington knows, or the Micronesia of the anthropologist, geographer, or missionary. In short, it is the Micronesia of the insider rather than the visitor, however much a student of our land he may be."............................................................................................................. |
