Taro Swamps on Ontong Java Atoll
Ontong Java atoll, Solomon Islands, transitioned in 1900 from a colonial copra export economy to one dominated since 1973 by bêche-de-mer sales. Prior to colonial influence, its inhabitants relied on two staple root crops – taro (Colocasia esculenta) and giant swamp taro (Cyrtosperma merkusii) – alongside coconuts and fish. This article examines taro cultivation on wetland ‘taro swamps’ across six of the atoll’s 120 islands. We assess the decline…
From Copra Sequestration to Outboard Engine Trawling
The colonial economy of Ontong Java Atoll, Solomon Islands, was centred on the sale of sun-dried copra. Atoll livelihoods depended on the ‘solar income’ freely available for growing coconuts and drying copra, and for sailing the outrigger canoes used for transport and fishing. The population retained self-sufficiency through its renewable resources of taro, coconut, and fish, enabling it also to sequester significant amounts of carbon in the form…
Colonialism as Shell Shock
The Ethnographic Experiment
In 1908, Arthur Maurice Hocart and William Halse Rivers Rivers conducted fieldwork in the Solomon Islands and elsewhere in Island Melanesia that served as the turning point in the development of modern anthropology. The work of these two anthropological pioneers on the small island of Simbo brought about the development of participant observation as a methodological hallmark of social anthropology. This would have implications for Rivers' later w…
Anthropomorphic Images at the Padjelanta Site, Northern Sweden
The paper discusses three phases of scratched images from the Padjelanta site of Sámi rock art in Laponia, northern Sweden. Pre-dating the middle phase of Viking Age/Medieval period sailing boats is a set of stylised anthopomorphs. These early images resemble certain petroglyphs from Alta, goddess motifs on Sami drums, and the Earth Mother figure in the Manrlajsmyths. Possible ritual contexts for the Padjelanta images are discussed, including aut…

Rainforest Composition and Histories of Human Disturbance in Solomon Islands
On the basis of a Solomon Islands case study, we report that tropical rainforests hitherto perceived as untouched, pristine, virgin, etc., are actually sites of former settlement, extensive forest clearance, and irrigated/swidden agriculture. An unusually wide range of sources--rainforest ecology, forest classification and mapping, ethnobotany, land-use history, oral traditions, ethnographic and archaeological observations--supports our conclusio…

Sámi Rock Engravings from the Mountains in Laponia, northern Sweden
In this paper we present a description of some rock engravings that have been discovered by reindeer herders in Padjelanta, on the fringes of the Sarek Mountains in Lapland, northern Sweden. The site has now been registered, but it has not yet been fully researched and is unprotected, so its precise location will not be disclosed. In this paper we shall call it the Padjelanta site. The pictures there include various figures – animals including re…
The Environmental Challenge
The relationship between people and the natural environment has always been one of the central concerns of geography. From a somewhat disreputable past, tainted with the excesses of environmental determinism, we have arrived at a situation in which many geographers are centrally engaged in debates about environmental issues and policies. It is in the nature of these issues, however, that their analysis requires interdisciplinary treatment involvi…

Irreversible soil erosion or the loss of a plant or animal species represents a 'negative externality', a cost that is passed on to others or to future generations without compensation. These negative externalities are emerging as a policy problem in market economies, and may result in pressure for state …

Understanding Green Revolutions
Peasant societies in the Third World have undergone changes that are often regarded as sweeping and unparalleled; rapid population growth, progressive integration into the market economy and a Green Revolution in agricultural technology. This book is a critical examination of the truth behind these stereotypes. Twenty-one specialists in the field of development studies look at the reality of agrarian change, either through historical analysis, or…
