Re‐territorializing the city
In Vanuatu, the popularity of reggae music has been on the rise since the late 1980s. Today, reggae music and reggae culture is ubiquitous. For many young people in Port Vila, Vanuatu's capital city, it is a fundamental component of their sense of belonging to the city. Their attraction to reggae derives from its messages of camaraderie, equality and justice. This paper argues that for many urban youth, playing, consuming and sharing reggae music…
An introduction to ‘Making the city “home”
It is estimated that by 2050, 50% of Pacific peoples will be living out their full lives in cities and towns throughout Oceania and around the world. Over the last 35 years, previous patterns of circular migration have been giving way to permanent urban settlers and to generations born and raised in urban places. These ‘urbanites’ demonstrate a firm commitment to urban living in both the present and the future. In the cities, Pacific people have …
Planting Roots, Making Place
A contentious issue for Pacific Islanders, as well as researchers of the Pacific Islands, is ni‐Vanuatu notions of ‘belonging’ to urban centres. Previous research in Vanuatu has shown that despite generations of people born and raised in Port Vila, the nation's capital, the urban centre is not generally perceived as a ‘place’ to which urban migrants can say they are from.

Literature on mobile phone…
Les relations familiales en ville sont brokbrok
Les jeunes sous-scolarisés et sous-employés de Port-Vila font souvent référence à la « casserole vide » pour refléter les problèmes sociaux rencontrés dans le milieu urbain d’aujourd’hui : coût de la vie élevé, aliénation des terres agricoles, taux de chômage important et insécurité financière. À Freswota, la casserole vide témoigne aussi des changements au niveau des relations familiales, souvent générées et maintenues par un système de partage …
Family relationships in town are brokbrok
Under-educated and under-employed young men in Port Vila, Vanuatu’s capital city, frequently refer to the “empty saucepan”. This is an idiom they use to reflect some of the social problems experienced in urban Vanuatu today; high cost of living, alienation from access to agricultural land, high rates of unemployment and financial insecurity. Yet the “empty saucepan” also speaks to specific concerns surrounding shifts in family relationships, ofte…
