The Northern Marianas Humanities Council will be featuring a war historian on “Your Humanities Half Hour” radio program this Sunday, Aug. 31, from 2pm to 2:30pm on Power 99. Catherine R. Perry hosts the program.

Alfredo Flores, who did a presentation at the history conference at Saipan World Resort in June, will be presenting his paper, “The Agony Over Land: U.S. Military Land Acquisition on Guam and Chamorro Land Stewardship, 1944-1972.” His presentation will explore the aftermath of World War II and how the U.S military engaged in a significant expansion project that changed Guam.

Flores is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Los Angeles and specializes in 20th century U.S. history with an emphasis on American empire, immigration, race/ethnicity, and labor with subfields in Asian-American history, Pacific Islander history, and Native American history.

He is also a co-founding member of the University of California Los Angeles graduate coalition of the Native Pacific and Famoksaiyan.
