This 1972 book takes Western Pacific island territories as a case
study in the behavioural understanding of colonialism. It is argued
that colonialism has many forms, and is not ended with the lowering
of the metropolitan flag. It represents a conflict of systems, as
worldwide forces impinge on local systems and seek to bring them
into an essentially dependent relationship with metropolitan
centres. The drive for independence is seen as the opposition to
these forces, beginning with resistance to invasion, continuing
through efforts to adapt the innovations and manage their impact,
and going on to modern forms of political and economic nationalism.
The book is based on field work and documentary research extending
more than ten years; the emphasis on field evidence is unusual in a
book of this nature.
