Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A political movement known to its own adherents as "Moro Movement," "Moro Company," or "Kastom Company" started on the southern coast of Guadalcanal, the largest island in the Solomon Islands of the southwest Pacific, around 1957. It came on the heels of another movement known in the anthropological literature as "Marching Rule" or "Maasina Rule" or "Maasina Ruru" that was based on the island of Malaita, which is about a hundred kilometers northeast of Guadalcanal. The fieldwork lasted twelve months, from November 1965 through October 1966, at a time when the Movement had somewhat revitalized following a hiatus of some years. For most of the year, the author lived in the Movement's headquarters, the village of Makaruka, with side trips to other settlements. This study is primarily a record of one specific political movement. It does not analyze the data in terms of a particular theoretical framework; it is a sociological and historical description of one area's reaction to a changed way of life brought about by the dominance of Europeans"--

Book excerpt: World War Two brought unimaginable destruction to the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, a remote colonial possession set in the vastness of the South-West Pacific. A global war, which had started in Europe in September 1939 had finally reached this 'fragment of Empire' so far away. For the people of Solomon Islands, who had led a traditional village existence for countless centuries, the early days of 1942 brought terror and hardship. Japanese Imperial naval, air and ground units swept into their lives from bases in neighbouring New Guinea, the horror of modern, mechanised warfare bringing fear and torment. Against the invading foe, the people of Solomon Islands stood firm and honoured their commitment and loyalty as protected persons of the British Empire. Redemption came on the 7th August 1942 when an Allied armada, spearheaded by the US Marines, landed on the northern coast of Guadalcanal, seizing the airstrip then under Japanese construction. The resulting Battle of Guadalcanal, which raged until early 1943 and cost thousands of Allied and Japanese lives, marked a turning point in the fortunes of the wider Pacific war. This book, by the late John Innes, recounts the experience of World War Two in Solomon Islands. John was, arguably, the most respected military historian in Solomon Islands and he spent years exploring the battlefields, researching in archives and speaking with veterans from home and abroad. His expertise won him the title of Honorary Marine, conferred by the US Marine Corps, honorary status with the US Marine Raiders' Association and a reputation as a skilled tour guide, raconteur and author. For his community and military history efforts, the Solomon Islands Government honoured John with the Solomon Islands Medal (SIM). Although John is, sadly, no longer with us, it is a pleasure to have his important book re-published to both mark the Battle of Guadalcanal and to recognise the courage and loyalty of the Solomon Islanders who fought in WWII. Their exemplary service, and that of US, British, Australian, New Zealand and Fijian military personnel, enabled the Pacific to have the freedom and peace which it enjoys today.
Download or read book Decolonisation and the Pacific written by Tracey Banivanua Mar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the previously untold story of decolonisation in the oceanic world of the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, presenting it both as an indigenous and an international phenomenon. Tracey Banivanua Mar reveals how the inherent limits of decolonisation were laid bare by the historical peculiarities of colonialism in the region, and demonstrates the way imperial powers conceived of decolonisation as a new form of imperialism. She shows how Indigenous peoples responded to these limits by developing rich intellectual, political and cultural networks transcending colonial and national borders, with localised traditions of protest and dialogue connected to the global ferment of the twentieth century. The individual stories told here shed new light on the forces that shaped twentieth-century global history, and reconfigure the history of decolonisation, presenting it not as an historic event, but as a fragile, contingent and ongoing process continuing well into the postcolonial era.

Download or read book Divided Isles written by Edward Acton Cavanough and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2019, Solomon Islands made international headlines when the country severed its decades-old alliance with Taiwan in exchange for a partnership with Beijing. The decision prompted international condemnation and terrified security experts, who feared Australia’s historical Pacific advantage would come unstuck. This development was framed as another example of China’s inevitable capture of the region – but this misrepresents how and why the decision was made, and how Solomon Islanders have skilfully leveraged global angst over China to achieve extraordinary gains. Despite Solomon Islands’ strategic importance, most outsiders know little about the country, a fragile island-nation stretching over a thousand islands and speaking seventy indigenous languages. In Divided Isles, Edward Cavanough explains how the switch played out on the ground and considers its extraordinary potential consequences. He speaks with the dissidents and politicians who shape Solomon Islands’ politics, and to the ordinary people whose lives have been upended by a decision that has changed the country – and the region – forever.

Download or read book Politics and State Building in Solomon Islands written by Sinclair Dinnen and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics and State Building in Solomon Islands examines a crisis moment in recent Solomon Islands history. Contributors examine what happened when unrest engulfed the capital of the small Melanesian country in the aftermath of the 2006 national elections, and consider what these events show about the Solomon Islands political system, the influence of Asian interests in business and politics, and why the crisis is best understood in the context of the country's volatile blend of traditional and modern politics. Until the disturbances of April 2006 and subsequent deterioration in bilateral relations between Australia and Solomon Islands under the Sogavare government, experts had hailed the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) as an unqualified success. Some saw it as a model for 'cooperative intervention' in 'failing states' worldwide. Following these developments success seems less certain and aspects of the RAMSI model appear flawed. Using the case of Solomon Islands, this book raises fundamental questions about the nature of 'cooperative intervention' as a vehicle for state building, asking whether it should be construed as a mainly technical endeavour or whether it is unavoidably a political undertaking with political consequences. Providing a critical but balanced analysis, Politics and State Building in Solomon Islands has important implications for the wider debate about international state-building interventions in 'failed' and 'failing' states.
