Forever Familias
I must begin with a confession. I was hoping to contribute to a book review panel for this manuscript at the 2024 Society for Scientific Study of Religion conference led by Thomas Murphy, but I was ultimately unable to attend. I offer my gratitude to Amanda Hendrix-Komoto for extending the redeeming opportunity to write this review, so I can at least share a belated contribution to the insights made on that panel. Forever Familias is a richly com…
Pedro and Pita Built Peter Priesthood's Mansion and Now They Work the Grounds
The 2001 film The Other Side of Heaven is a dramatization based on John H. Groberg's book In the Eye of the Storm, featuring his time as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church) in the Kingdom of Tonga, where he was renamed Kolipoki.1 Kolipoki is a White missionary from the United States who is initially assigned to work together with a Brown Indigenous companion Feki Pōuha. Feki cares for and protects his…
Talanoa vā
Indigenous scholars constantly contend with deficit tendencies associated with the value and place of their cultural knowledge and practices within higher education. When gender is imbued through a racialised view of indigeneity or the indigenous scholar, the proposition of ‘other’ and ‘othering’ becomes a struggle of power relations which necessarily shapes the critical encounters in higher education spaces. This article utilises ‘talanoa vā’, a…
Towards a Grammar of Race
A search for new ways to talk about race in Aotearoa New Zealand brought together this powerful group of scholars, writers and activists. For these authors, attempts to confront racism and racial violence often stall against a failure to see how power works through race, across our modern social worlds. The result is a country where racism is all too often left unnamed and unchecked, voices are erased, the colonial past ignored and silence passes…
Digital Vā
The emergence of the COVID-19 virus has significantly shifted the lives of Pacific families and communities from face-to-face communal settings to digital spaces. While there has been a multitude of opportunities for Pacific people to express themselves in digital spaces, little is known about the impacts of this on social life, including on quality time within families, exposure to misinformation, and the adoption of online addictive behaviours.…
Seleka’s profane potency
The Seleka art and kava collective is found in the heart of the Kingdom of Tonga’s urban centre and capital. Seleka is a transformed nickname which is a play on the word kasele, meaning toilet or outhouse, an external othering and internal acceptance of divergence within Tongan society. Seleka is a site where urban Tongans paint and drink kava together while listening to rebellious music, incorporating some of the aesthetics and politics of these…
Talanoa
Story dialogue known as talanoa is increasingly finding its place as a Pacific research method. The authors situate talanoa as an Indigenous concept of relationally mindful critical oratory. Approaching talanoa from mostly a Tongan lens, it is argued that it can contribute to broader discussions of Indigenous research methods and epistemology. The authors address the talanoa literature that has defined it as an open or informal discussion, and re…
