520 _a"Like a human tsunami, World War II brought two million American servicemen to the South Pacific where they left a human legacy of some thousands of children. Mothers' Darlings of the South Pacific traces the intimate relationships that existed in the wartime South Pacific between U.S. servicemen and Indigenous women, and considers the fate of the resulting children. The American military command carefully managed intimate relationships in the Pacific Theater, applying U.S. immigration law based on race on Pacific peoples of color to prevent marriage "across the color line." For Indigenous women and their American servicemen sweethearts, legal marriage was impossible, giving rise to a generation of children known as "G.I. Babies." Among these Pacific war children, one thing common to almost all is the longing to know more about their American father. Mothers' Darlings of the South Pacific traces these children's stories of loss, emotion, longing, and identity, and of lives lived in the shadow of global war." -- Publisher's website.
