Contents:
Overnight, many Chuukese Islanders moved to the US territory of Guam in search of employment, and by the year Chuukese accounted for around 5, of Guam's , citizens Guam, Bautista explains, should not be considered a final "destination" of FSM and Chuukese migrants but rather their "reach" 3 , a perspective that leaves room for cultural, economic, and human flows between dispersed migrant communities and their place of origin.
Bautista's working experience with Chuukese on her father's farm eventually led her to Chuuk for undergraduate research in sociology, which eventually culminated in the eleven months of doctoral fieldwork in that forms the basis of this study.

Here Bautista looks at why FSM and other Micronesian citizens have moved to Guam and seeks "to describe the web of social expectations and reciprocal obligations between sending and receiving communities or The survey data she presents on remittances and on patterns of flow and reciprocity between home and reach are among the first for this time period and cannot be underestimated in terms of their value in promoting an understanding of continuity and change in Chuukese social network activities.
