Making Micronesia - A Political Biography of Tosiwo Nakayama

Tells the story of Tosiwo Nakayama, the first president of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Making Micronesia follows Nakayama's life through time, focusing on the expansiveness of his vision. In many ways, "Macronesia", not "Micronesia," seems a more appropriate term for the world he inhabited and tried to make accessible to others.
