The Carolina, Mariana and Marshall Islands have experienced world
war, atomic weapons testing and varying brands of colonialism in
the 20th century. Following the seizure of the islands from Japan,
agencies of the US government sought to better possess and control
the area through a series of developmental initiatives.
Interdisciplinary in its approach, this text goes beyond the
liberal discourse surrounding modernity to examine what economic
development actually entailed. It explores in ethnographic terms
how different groups of island people responded to development
programmes in multiple, complex, layered and sometimes conflicting
ways that reflected their own historical experiences and cultural
understandings.
David Hanlon's Spectrum of Flight is a chapbook of poetry about
accepting your identity, overcoming homophobia and learning to love
yourself in the face of hatred. This is a journey of healing, of
acceptance, and of knowing your worth. These poems will sting,
illuminate, confront, and ultimately heal.

In a time of dynamism and contradiction in Pacific cultural
production, a time of 'turning things over' and 'writing from the
inside out, ' this far-reaching volume provides a comprehensive set
of essays and interviews on the emergent literatures of the New
Pacific. With its dynamic combination of important position papers,
polemics, and decolonizing critiques by noted authors and of
analysis by new and established post-colonial scholars, this volume
exposes 'the maze and mix of literatures and cultural identities
breaking down and building up across the Pacific Ocean.' This
pioneering work will be the definitive resource for anyone
researching or teaching Pacific literature and will be invaluable
for bringing Pacific culture to readers outside the region
