Book excerpt: From the beginning, I adopted the attitude that I was no different to anyone else even with my limited knowledge of the English language. Also right from the outset I had a strong belief in my ability and recognised my chances of achievements were the same as anyone else including those who had better qualifications, educations and experience.For these reasons I urge you to read my story and make the journey with me through the lows and highs that ensured my positive attitude and self belief would be tested. These attributes along with sheer determination is the key to my success.We all know that nothing in life is easy, no one owes us a living, in the end we are the architect of own destiny. The good news is, it's never too late to take up the challenge and make a difference to our lives and those around us.I have called my book THE SAMOAN who said 'YES', I am confident that after you read it you will agree that is totally relevant to the story of my life.I know that you are going to enjoy reading my story, it is just that type of bookBest regardsFilipo Tevaga Sio

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late twentieth century, the categorization of individuals in ethnic terms, affected by neoliberal reforms and the prioritization of market forces, has transformed our institutions and wreaked havoc around the world. Especially stark in societies that recognize their bi- or multicultural make-up, such categorization influences how individuals view themselves and are viewed by others in the educational arena. A small town in Aotearoa/New Zealand, with its contemporary shift toward official biculturalism and extensive free-marketization of schooling, is a prime example. This important volu.
Download or read book First Contacts in Polynesia the Samoan Case 1722 1848 written by Serge Tcherkezoff and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the first encounters between Samoans and Europeans up to the arrival of the missionaries, using all available sources for the years 1722 to the 1830s, paying special attention to the first encounter on land with the Laperouse expedition. Many of the sources used are French, and some of difficult accessibility, and thus they have not previously been thoroughly examined by historians. Adding some Polynesian comparisons from beyond Samoa, and reconsidering the so-called 'Sahlins-Obeyesekere debate' about the fate of Captain Cook, 'First Contacts' in Polynesia advances a hypothesis about the contemporary interpretations made by the Polynesians of the nature of the Europeans, and about the actions that the Polynesians devised for this encounter: wrapping Europeans up in 'cloth' and presenting 'young girls' for 'sexual contact'. It also discusses how we can go back two centuries and attempt to reconstitute, even if only partially, the point of view of those who had to discover for themselves these Europeans whom they call 'Papalagi'. The book also contributes an additional dimension to the much-touted 'Mead-Freeman debate' which bears on the rules and values regulating adolescent sexuality in 'Samoan culture'. Scholars have long considered the pre-missionary times as a period in which freedom in sexuality for adolescents predominated. It appears now that this erroneous view emerged from a deep misinterpretation of Laperouse's and Dumont d'Urville's narratives.

Download or read book Uncovering Indigenous Models of Leadership written by Robert Jon Peterson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovering Indigenous Models of Leadership focuses on Native and Indigenous leadership as an expression of a lived experience––as seen, felt, and heard––from the perspectives provided by Native Pacific Islanders, Polynesians, and, more specifically, Samoans from the Talavou clan. Central to this study is the question: What themes and elements influence Samoan leadership and how might these leaders provide others, elsewhere, with a different model of leadership, to reduce the inequitable effects of capitalism’s insatiable hunger for more power and material gain, so that all people on planet Earth might thrive? This study asserts that alternative models of leadership must be uncovered and that Native and Indigenous People, specifically leaders, hold the keys to moving our species beyond survival so that we can all thrive. Liberating, inclusive, and anchored in self-determinism, it demonstrates that Native and Indigenous People know who they are, why they exist, and that they will continue to thrive, despite the ongoing impositions of colonialization, capitalization, and globalization on their ways of being and knowing. Ultimately, it uncovers an Indigenous model of leadership based on the notion of alofa, or love. As a companion to the study, the author has created an extended play album of original music titled, “Heart of the Matter,” which can be found online.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful island in the South Pacific and a Christian home should be an ideal place for anyone to begin their life’s journey. But instead, Pinati’s childhood memories are filled with physical abuse, especially between the ages of five and ten. He still has a scar from a knife that stuck in his arm; he could not eat regular food for two weeks from a hit on his mouth; and he was beaten with a board in front of the whole school assembly as a second grader. As an adult, he experienced a painful divorce, death of his only son at age 20, death of his wife of 18 years, a drive-by shooting in San Francisco, and a street mob in the Philippines. With a pacemaker, a kidney transplant, eight stents in his heart, and a daily dose of 23 pills, he believes he’s still going because of God’s love and grace. His story is for God’s glory.

Book excerpt: The body of a young woman is found in a dump in American Samoa. Then the prime suspect in her death is found half-eaten by sharks. Natural justice? Native justice? Or something else entirely? Lieutenant Han, a Korean-American homicide detective on loan to this remote South Pacific island nation, is also its only trained investigator. Born in one culture, raised in another, married into a third and now working in a fourth, Han takes nothing for granted about why people kill each other. Even so, these two deaths make no sense. Meanwhile, Han's estranged Japanese wife is back in Samoa, apparently more interested in an American ecologist than her husband, and the woman doctor Han fell for in his wife's absence seems to be falling for the hospital's new pathologist, a long-distance ocean sailor from South Africa with some unique experience in third-world killing fields. As the answers to Han's questions emerge from the cultural chaos like the ghosts that haunt Samoan forests, he discovers that the last blind spot is his own. And it may kill him.

Download or read book The United Nations and the Pacific Islands written by Graham Hassall and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the relationship between the United Nations Organization and the small states of the Pacific islands. It provides an in-depth coverage of the United Nations, coupled with how Pacific Small Island Developing States interact. It covers three themes, the first one being the position of the UN on the Pacific Islands, which examines the role of the many UN organs, agencies and programs in strengthening individual countries and the region as a whole. It examines the manner in which the UN’s activities have benefited Pacific nations, territories and peoples. The second theme deals with the Pacific states in the UN, and examines the participation of Pacific nations and territories in the UN’s various organs, agencies, and programmes. It analyses the contribution they have made to the effectiveness of the organization, as distinct from the benefits they have sought to gain from it. The third and last theme deals with small states in global public policy, taking a broader look at how small states are faring within the UN system in the age of global discourse on shared public goods/public policy concerns.
