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.
Mac Marshall is professor of anthropology at the University of Iowa, with a secondary appointment as professor of community and behavioural health. He is former editor of Medical Anthropology Quarterly and currently serves as Secretary of the American Anthropological Association.
