Tiko, a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, faces a tidal wave of
D-E-V-E-L-O-P-M-E-N-T, which threatens to demolish ancestral ways
and the human spirit. From Sione, who prefers to play cards with
his secretary during work hours, to Ole Pasifikiwei, who masters
the twists and turns of international funding games, all of the
characters in these pages are seasoned surfers, capable of riding
the biggest wave to shore. These are not stories of fatal impact so
much as upbeat tales of indigenous responses to cultural and
economic imperialism. Epeli Hauofa uses devices derived from oral
storytelling to create a South Pacific voice that is lucid,
hilarious, and compassionate in a work that has long been regarded
as a milestone in Pacific literature.
