Myths & Legends of our New Possessions & Protectorate

About this book

In the late 19th century, as the United States expanded its influence overseas, cultural narratives began to intertwine with the myths of newly acquired territories. "Myths & Legends of our New Possessions & Protectorate" by Charles M. Skinner offers a rich tapestry of stories that illuminate the diverse folklore of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. This collection not only captures the essence of indigenous beliefs but also reflects the complexities of imperialism. Readers will encounter tales that reveal the unalienable rights of native peoples and the profound connection between land and identity. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work serves as a vital resource for understanding the cultural legacies that shaped America’s global narrative.
