Alfred Flores (PhD 2015), currently an Assistant Professor of Asian American Studies at Harvey Mudd College, has published his first book, Tip of the Spear: Land, Labor, and US Settler Militarism in Guahan, 1944-1962 (Cornell University Press, 2023). Flores argues that the US militarization of Guahan was based on a co-constitutive process that included CHamoru land dispossession and the racialization of civilian military labor that led to the transformation of the island.
