Chiefs, Agitators and the Navy
American Samoa was governed directly by the US navy from 1901 to 1951, using naval officers on short-term rotations, assisted by Samoan chiefs. Despite being benign and protectionist, the administration in 1920 was disturbed by a protest movement commonly known by the Samoan term mau. This coincided with criticisms from other quarters, including a mixed-race Samoan–Caucasian family, assisted by a California attorney, a mutinous naval officer, a H…
Across the Threshold
The long reign of Tupou IV of Tonga ended in 2006 at a time when pressure for political change, building during the previous 25 years, was beginning to turn towards direct action. Tentative reform efforts by the king's children were insufficient to satisfy the growing demands, and were partially vitiated by controversy over royal business interests and privileges. During the king's last year, protest broadened from governance issues to economic, …
To not reinstate the past
Most interpretations stress a qualitative shift in colonial policy at the end of World War II, reflecting a major reorientation of outlook towards development, welfare and ultimately independence. There are, however, continuities before and after the war that call for a shift of emphasis. Because the British Solomon Islands Protectorate is conventionally represented as an extreme case of backwardness and severity before the war, it should present…
Progress and Populism in Tongan Politics∗
Media fascination with and misrepresentation of Tongan politics continues, but there is better reason than usual for taking a close look at 2005. The government had suffered a series of reverses and embarrassments in the previous few years, including the dismissal of five ministers. Public controversy had arisen over attempts to control the media, over royalty's business interests, and finally over the price of electricity. These matters were bou…
Resistance and colonial government
Attempts to explain the Mau in Western Samoa have generally examined it in isolation, thus throwing the emphasis onto the particularities of the New Zealand administration. Comparison has been limited to passing references intimating that the New Zealand administration was unusually incompetent and provocative. A closer comparison shows significant structural similarities between German, American and New Zealand regimes, but with the latter provi…
Pacific Islands History
In the unprecedented expansion of historical studies after the Second World War, the ‘Third World’ as it later came to be called, attracted new interest, not just as places of European imperialist activity, but as places worthy of study in their own right. Rather surprisingly, the remote and insignificant Pacific Islands were amongst the earliest to come under this new gaze, mainly because of Australian security concerns. Pacific history thus ach…

The Asopa Controversy
World War II offered an occasion that stalled and was almost lost in the late 1940s for a re-orientation of Australian policies in Papua and New Guinea. In the absence of a long-range planning unit for the territory, the debate over how patrol officers should be trained became a metonymical contest for control over policy development generally. Proposals to transform the Army School of Civil Affairs into a multi-purpose research and educational i…

Anthropology and the professionalisation of colonial administration in Papua and New Guinea
During the 1920s Australia took three steps to raise the quality of its field staff engaged in ‘native administration’ in Papua and New Guinea: the appointment of government anthropologists, the institution of a cadet scheme, and the establishment of a chair of anthropology at the University of Sydney. The driving force behind all steps was J. H. P. Murray, who had first expressed an intention in 1915, and had been interested in the usefulness of…

The alleged imperialism of George Tupou I
that power expands to its natural limits. Kings, politicians and capitalists are all presumed to obey this supposed law of history so that the limits of any man's success are those established by the counter-expansionism of others. So it is in the case of George Tupou I, king of Tonga from 1845 to 1893. From a small, disputed inheritance in the Ha'apai group in 1820, his ambition to reunite Tonga after its civil wars which had begun in the 1780s …

On Polynesian Hospitality
L'éthique de l'hospitalité polynésienne a été fréquemment remarquée mais rarement étudiée. Les témoignages des premiers visiteurs européens attestent l'existence de l'hospitalité polynésienne mais également décrivent plusieurs cas de violence et d'hostilité. L'hospitalité envers les étrangers devint utilitaire sous la forte pression des changements politiques internes, par l'accroissement des contacts européens et par les occasions d'échanges éco…
