Download or read book Tahiti Nui written by Colin W. Newbury and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tahiti Nui is an account of the survival of a Polynesian society in the face of successive settlements of missionaries, traders, and administrators. Beginning with the first explorers and Captain Cook's scientific observations at Point Venus, Dr. Newbury has separated the various strands interwoven in the fabric of Tahitian society, tracing their development and showing how they interacted at successive stages. Missionaries and foreign traders, administrators and Polynesians, planters and immigrant Chinese have all contributed to the distinctive flavor of French Polynesia, with Tahiti and Tahitians becoming increasingly dominant, not just as the focus of the French administration in Pape'ete, but in the social networks and trading patterns that have evolved.

Download or read book The Irish Question written by Lawrence John McCaffrey and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1995-11-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1800 to 1922 the Irish Question was the most emotional and divisive issue in British politics. It pitted Westminster politicians, anti-Catholic British public opinion, and Irish Protestant and Presbyterian champions of the Union against the determination of Ireland's large Catholic majority to obtain civil rights, economic justice, and cultural and political independence. In this completely revised and updated edition of The Irish Question, Lawrence J. McCaffrey extends his classic analysis of Irish nationalism to the present day. He makes clear the tortured history of British-Irish relations and offers insight into the difficulties now facing those who hope to create a permanent peace in Northern Ireland.

Download or read book Political Corruption in Ireland 1922 2010 written by Elaine Byrne and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book empirically maps the decline in standards since the inauguration of Irish independence in 1922, to the loss of Irish economic sovereignty in 2010. It argues that the definition of corruption is an evolving one. As the nature of the state changes, so too does the type of corruption. New evidence is presented on the early institutional development of the state. Irish public life was motivated by an ethos which rejected patronage. Original research provides fresh insights into how the policies of economic protectionalism and discretionary decision-making led to eight Tribunal inquires. The emergence of state capture within political decision-making is examined by analyzing political favoritism towards the beef industry. The degree to which unorthodox links between political donations impacted on policy choices which exacerbated the depth of Ireland's economic collapse is considered. This book will appeal to students and scholars of Irish politics, corruption theory, governance, public policy, and political financing.

Download or read book Out of the Silence written by Lynne Strahan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1888, Australia's Anglican Community of the Holy Name order has administered schools, hospitals, a girls' reformatory, orphanages, and an inner-city mission throughout its charitable empire, which stretches from its Melbourne base to New South Wales, South Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand. But behind the edifice of social welfare, a profounder, more mysterious reality has inspired the order's members, a commitment to the "hidden life...a life of astonishing simplicity, of almost, by the world's standards, scandalous unreason." This oral history of the Community draws on its members' personal accounts to explore its history and present-day realities: the struggles to cope with inner and outer change, confront the dualities of existence, and define its role in an increasingly materialistic world. The book also deals with the part played by this order and others in attempting to clarify and advance the role of women in the ministry.
