Review: American Schools for the Natives of Ponape: a Study of Education and Culture Change in Micronesia

Weeks, S. G. (February 1982). "Review: American Schools for the Natives of Ponape: a Study of Education and Culture Change in Micronesia". Comparative Education Review. 26 (1): 131–133. doi:10.1086/446279. ISSN 0010-4086.

Abstract: With Micronesia's political future currently under negotiation and debate, this book's appearance is most timely. This is the first in-depth examination and analysis of the impact—both socio-psychological and cultural—of a transplanted American school system to peoples of Micronesia. Dr. Colletta begins with a description of the education and enculturation processes practiced before the introduction of formal schooling. He then traces the historical evolution of schooling under various foreign influences-from the early missionaries through the German and Japanese occupations to the current American trusteeship.
