The Mariana Islands, 1884-1887: Random Notes (Second Edition)

Author(s):

  Francisco Olive y Garcia, Translated and Annotated by: Marjorie G. Driver  

Year of Publication:
2006
Format:
Hardcover
Price: $20

This report written by Governor Francisco Olive contains his insights about the social, political, and economic conditions of the Marianas. He focuses on the underdevelopment of the islands and draws the Spanish Government to look back at the colony’s history, specifically the second half of the 19th century. The report reflects the colonial mentality of Olive, who stresses the responsibility of the Spanish Government to the inhabitants of the Marianas, leaving unchallenged the right of Spain to maintain its sovereignty over the islands.
