Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Banaba is a tiny dot two miles long in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Until 1900, a few thousand Banabans lived there, a peaceful community following their fishing, their tilling and their pagan rites under the tropic sun. Then it was discovered that they were sitting on the richest deposit of phosphate in the world. Now there are just a few barren coral pinnacles of mined out wasteland. Pearl Binder's story is not just one of Big Business driving out the Innocent Native, nor one of Big Governments (Australia, New Zealand and Britain) against a few helpless individuals. She knows the Banabans and their legends as well, and has spend many months with them on the Pacific island to which they have been exiled. She has also befriended them during their legal case (the longest in history) against the Phosphate Commission. DJ. 191 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 1589406
