This collection of studies from commentators, academics and
activists from throughout the region examines the diverse meanings
of violence in Melanesia. It shows that the nature and level of
violence varies widely across different Melanesian contexts, with
some of those contexts experiencing extraordinary levels of
violence. Through the reports the meaning of the categories used in
Western law is challenged. Forms of oppression that were more
important in the West centuries ago are still important in
Melanesia, and while the cultural patterns of violence are local
and plural, there are also global currents and paradoxes of
political economies and restorative justice. This is not just a
book for Melanesianists, but for all who are concerned about
violence and healing it.
