Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and culture of the indigenous Polynesian people of Samoa, who have fought to retain their cultural identity under Western pressure. In the face of global transformation, the author explores how modern travellers, traders, missionaries, and beachcombers have encroached upon these islands over the years, transforming communal property and hierarchical systems. The arrival of powerful outsiders has disrupted the islands' traditional trade, cultural practices, and governance, leading to a civil war in the 1870s, and the need for modern Samoa to redefine itself. The book sheds light on the historical struggle for sovereignty in Samoa, highlighting themes of indigenous rights, colonialism, and the impact of the global economy on traditional ways of life. The text also examines how the West's influence in other 19th-century contexts, such as British colonialism in Fiji, has shaped the nation of Samoa.
