Abstract In its very early stages, the Bougainville conflict was analysed by academic observers in terms of three main perspectives: ethno‐nationalist demands precipitated by grievances about the Panguna copper and gold mine; cultural perspectives which emphasise the impact of a large mining project on either Melanesian communities generally or particular Bougainvillean communities; and class conflict and other forms of economic inequality. To assess the extent to which these perspectives illuminate the dynamics of almost 10 years of conflict, they are re‐considered in the light of both other published material about Bougainville and an overview of the main stages of development of the conflict. While each perspective illuminates aspects of the conflict, none of them stands alone as an explanation. Rather each tends to reinforce the significance of the others. Stresses in Bougainvillean societies caused by interaction of evoloving cultures with growing economic inequality within and between societies are ...

Abstract Catholicism was introduced into Samoa in 1845 by French Marists. The article gives an overview of the encounter between French Catholicism and Samoan culture in the 19th century. This includes ethnographic descriptions from Mission sources. The Catholic Mission confronted a Samoan culture in the throes of dealing with the intruding European world while entering a Samoan polity of intrigues and alliances. It sought to use these in its own interests, but in turn was used by them. The Marist version of Catholicism may have been unduly narrow in its application to fa'a Samoa (Samoan culture) but the missionaries were dealing with a fa'a Samoa bereft of self‐confidence in the face of the new papalagi (European) world and eager to take in as much of it as possible.

Abstract Among the many consequences of colonisation in the Pacific were the twin processes of conjunction and separation of indigenous societies following the establishment of colonial boundaries. In the Solomon Islands, both occurred. Particularly in the northwest, earlier connections were reduced (although not eliminated) following the establishment of the British‐German boundary between the British Solomon Islands Protectorate (BSIP) and German (later British) New Guinea. Other parts of the Solomons which had previously had less contact were conjoined into the BSIP, which later became the independent state of the Solomons Islands. I consider some of the outcomes of these processes for New Georgian (Western Solomons) notions of nationhood. I discuss the question of Western sentiments towards the Papua New Guinea island of Bougainville, but focus primarily on New Georgian ambivalence towards union with other parts of the Solomons, particularly Malaita Province.

Abstract The negative British responses to Australasian colonial requests for the extension of British control in the Pacific, particularly in the period of annexations or attempted annexations by Germany from 1884, show the consistent subordination of Australasian interests to Britain's broader Imperial interests. This only made colonial governments and interest groups more determined to obtain and preserve what they believed was theirs by right. Of equal concern with the preservation of their economic interests was the fear that their maritime trade and ports could be exposed to attacks by German warships, based in colonies stretching from New Guinea to Samoa. The reality of the threat is confirmed by German naval planning documents.
