Etto n̄an Raan Kein: A Marshall Islands History is the first ever comprehensive history of the Marshall Islands from the Marshallese perspective. Throughout the last 15 years, this compilation of Western historical accounts, Marshallese oral accounts, and in-depth interviews all contributed to this book relaying the most complete historical narrative of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Although different wato, atolls, and families have their own histories, this text presents the people of the Marshall Islands who share many significant moments—the experience of colonization, the struggles of war, and the formation of an independent Marshallese nation.
