Political Life Writing in the Pacific
Author: Jack Corbett
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1925022617
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This book aims to reflect on the experiential side of writing political lives in the Pacific region. The collection touches on aspects of the life writing art that are particularly pertinent to political figures: public perception and ideology; identifying important political successes and policy initiatives; grappling with issues like corruption and age-old political science questions about leadership and ‘dirty hands’. These are general themes but they take on a particular significance in the Pacific context and so the contributions explore these themes in relation to patterns of colonisation and the memory of independence; issues elliptically captured by terms like ‘culture’ and ‘tradition’; the nature of ‘self’ presented in Pacific life writing; and the tendency for many of these texts to be written by ‘outsiders’, or at least the increasingly contested nature of what that term means.

Parasites of Man in Niugini
Author: William Hector Ewers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"The spread of parasitic diseases is a problem which faces most of the developing countries of the world. Many of the parasites of man do not cause obvious disease, but they do cause continual poor health. This book presents a study of the important parasites of man in Niugini. Its purpose is to achieve a scientific understanding of the causes of many of the parasitic diseases which afflict man, and to dispel the idea of witchcraft as the source and cure of these ailments. No disease-carrying parasite can be conquered unless man interferes with its life cycle. This can only be achieved when a large proportion of the population knows where, when, and how to do so effectively. Not only scientists, doctors, field and laboratory technicians and students, but all the people in the country must co-operate to understand and combat these diseases. The authors have outlined areas where future research should be carried out. A large part of the book is devoted to a study of malaria, an ever-present problem in Niugini. The high incidence of malaria causes continual poor health and decreased productivity. The information contained in this book is of local interest and is written in a language which can be easily understood by most people."--BOOK JACKET.

Much has been written about Papua New Guinea over the last century and too often in ways that legitimated or served colonial interests through highly pejorative and racist descriptions of Papua New Guineans. Paying special attention to early travel literature, works of fiction, and colonial reports, laws, and legislation, Regis Tove Stella reveals the complex and persistent network of discursive strategies deployed to subjugate the land and its people.

Pasifika Black
Author: Quito Swan
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479835269
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
ASALH 2023 Book Prize Winner A lively living history of anti-colonialist movements across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans Oceania is a vast sea of islands, large scale political struggles and immensely significant historical phenomena. Pasifika Black is a compelling history of understudied anti-colonial movements in this region, exploring how indigenous Oceanic activists intentionally forged international connections with the African world in their fights for liberation. Drawing from research conducted across Fiji, Australia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Britain, and the United States, Quito Swan shows how liberation struggles in Oceania actively engaged Black internationalism in their diverse battles against colonial rule. Pasifika Black features as its protagonists Oceania's many playwrights, organizers, religious leaders, scholars, Black Power advocates, musicians, environmental justice activists, feminists, and revolutionaries who carried the banners of Black liberation across the globe. It puts artists like Aboriginal poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal and her 1976 call for a Black Pacific into an extended conversation with Nigeria’s Wole Soyinka, the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific’s Amelia Rokotuivuna, Samoa’s Albert Wendt, African American anthropologist Angela Gilliam, the NAACP’s Roy Wilkins, West Papua’s Ben Tanggahma, New Caledonia’s Déwé Gorodey, and Polynesian Panther Will ‘Ilolahia. In so doing, Swan displays the links Oceanic activists consciously and painstakingly formed in order to connect Black metropoles across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. In a world grappling with the global significance of Black Lives Matter and state-sanctioned violence against Black and Brown bodies, Pasifika Black is a both triumphant history and tragic reminder of the ongoing quests for decolonization in Oceania, the African world, and the Global South.
