This history presents an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the experiences of Pacific islanders from their first settlement of the islands to the present day. It addresses the question of insularity and explores islanders' experiences thematically, covering such topics as early settlement, contact with Europeans, colonialism, politics, commerce, nuclear testing, tradition, ideology, and the role of women. It incorporates material on the Maori, the Irianese in western New Guinea, the settled immigrant communities in Fiji, New Caledonia and the Hawaiian monarchy and follows migrants to New Zealand, Australia and North America.

Public Health in Papua New Guinea: Medical Possibility and Social Constraint, 1884–1984 (Cambridge Studies in the History of Medicine)

This book concerns the development of institutional medicine, medical practice and health care during the initial colonisation and later colonial rule of Papua New Guinea. It discusses the relationship between public health and the medical profession and colonial bureaucracy, and also analyses the profession's social and technical ideas which determined the kinds of health policies and programmes attempted. The first part describes the era of tropical medicine which predominated at the turn of the century and survived until the 1950s. The second part investigates the transformation of tropical medicine by the introduction of new drugs and the curative campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s, and thereafter discusses the emergence of a new medical strategy known as 'primary health care'. This original, comparative study will be of value not only to anthropologists and historians of tropical medicine but also to historians of colonialism and its effects on public health care.

This book provides an arresting interpretation of the history of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific from the earliest settlements to the present. Usually viewed in isolation, these societies are covered here in a single account, in which the authors show how the peoples of the region constructed their own identities and influenced those of their neighbours. 
By broadening the focus to the regional level, this volume develops analyses - of economic, social and political history - which transcend national boundaries. The result is a compelling work which both describes the aspirations of European settlers and reveals how the dispossessed and marginalized indigenous peoples negotiated their own lives as best they could. The authors demonstrate that these stories are not separate but rather strands of a single history.

Alan and Judy meet as teachers in the Australian Territory of Papua and New Guinea, where they embrace Independence - and each other - before returning to Australia and separating. A generation later their daughter Rebecca joins the campaign for an independent Irian Jaya. On the border she is assaulted, and evacuated to Port Moresby General Hospital. When Alan comes to the rescue, he and his friends flounder in a world of security experts, raskols, shady politicians and unhappy bureaucrats. He also falls in love with Anna, former student, now journalist. She won't live in Canberra, so Alan must identify and disarm their enemies and make a new life in a country that has become strange to him, unpredictable but always exciting. In Trial Separation, Donald Denoon described the formation of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea and its separation from Australia. In this novel he explores its effects on the lives of Papua New Guineans and Australians.
