Abstract Between 1945 and 1947, the United States pursued an imperial course to guarantee its security in the western Pacific and eastern Asia by consolidating its control over Micronesia, the Philippines, the Bonins, the Volcanoes, and the Ryukyus. Part of this process entailed ensuring that these islands were ‘Americanised’ and assimilated to US rule, particularly when it came to the strategically‐located Micronesian Islands. Perceiving the Soviet Union as a post‐war successor to pre‐war Japan, American officials sought to prevent Micronesia being used for future bases by unfriendly foreign powers. Accordingly, US officials attempted to attach the Micronesian population to the continental United States by evacuating all East Asians, restricting the number of all but Caucasian‐Americans in the islands, and assimilating the population through aspects of American culture and political economy. Some Americans unofficially even suggested ‘whitening’ the islands by colonising them with large numbers of Caucas...

Abstract The Australian Government set up the Expropriation Board to seize and dispose of German property in former German New Guinea. Staffed mainly by ex‐officers of the Australian occupation force, and returned soldiers unable to assimilate into civilian life after the Great War, the Board quickly became noted for inefficiency, incompetence and very questionable dealings in plantations and movable property. Civilian Administrators had to contend with the Board which was the de facto administration. The government failed to correct this. By the time the Board was wound up two major Australian companies controlled considerable property as the inexperience of the (mainly returned servicemen) new owners of plantations saw many of them dependent on one or other for financial assistance. The ineptitude of the Board, and Australia's inexperience in colonial administration, created problems which were to haunt Australian governments up to, and after, the Second World War.

Abstract Chinese emigration was more out of necessity than the desire to leave the land of their fathers. But by the end of the 19th century the desire to migrate had become almost an obsession occasioned by a strong desire to escape internal hostilities and economic gloom, and a zealous passion to amass huge fortunes in the goldmines and plantations of newly developed colonies. Those who found their way into the Pacific did so mainly under the indentured labour system. Samoa, the Navigator Islands of Louis de Bougainville, and the adventurer's quixotic ‘Cradle of Polynesia’, also lured the ‘Sons of the Yellow Emperor’. Almost 7,000 Chinese emigrated to Samoa under the dreaded indentured labour system. This article examines the plight of the Chinese in Samoa, and just how successful they were in fulfilling their dreams.

Abstract This paper is an examination of the significance of man ‘ura, or feather girdles, in Tahiti in the years immediately following European contact. It examines their relationship to ‘Oro, the Tahitian god of war, and their significance for tribal politics in Tahiti. The most significant man ‘ura in this period were those which had their origin at the Opoa marae in Ra'iatea, as it is said that it was here that ‘Oro was bom. Attempts by highly‐ranked ari'i to possess such man ‘ura, as well as an image of ‘Oro which usually travelled together with the man, fuelled a number of inter‐tribal conflicts in the period under study. However, as the worship of ‘Oro intensified, and the Pomares gained ascendancy, references to man ‘ura are no longer present in the sources.

Abstract The missionary William Pascoe Crook was the first European to make an extended residence in the Marquesas. He failed to make a single convert in the two years he was there but instead risked a ‘conversion’ of sorts in everyday compromises between fitting in with, and preserving his independence from, a way of life he found to be abhorrent. This paper reconstructs the quality of Crook's experience during his sojourn in the Marquesas and reflects on the ethnographic ‘Account of the Marquesas Islands’ compiled on his return to London in 1799. It emphasises the processes by which Crook came to a partial understanding of tapu and the role of mimicry in his adaptation to lapu as a force that will make sense of him, but that he himself does not comprehend. The paper relates Crook's experience of cultural difference to problems in the anthropological concept of culture.
