Colonialism, Maasina Rule, and the Origins of Malaitan Kastom

Description:

"This book, while focusing on Malaita in Solomon Islands, links the Pacific Islands with colonial experiences elsewhere, especially British colonies in Africa and Asia. It illustrates the complex relationships between colonial powers and their subjects and the ways Pacific Islanders engage with foreigners, their ideas, and institutions while at the same time drawing from their own cultures and institutions to make sense of these interactions and formulate responses. While couched within the broader context of colonial studies, the book emphasizes Islander agency and voices.
