Politics & Government

In The Eye Of The Storm - Jai Ram Reddy and the Politics of Postcolonial Fiji

To read this evocative book is to be thrust into a Fiji that has, for the moment, been snuffed out by military might: a Fiji of political parties, parliamentary politics, elections, manifestoes, campaigns, democractic defence of interests, party manoeuvres, and constitutional protection of rights and freedoms.

Pele's Tsunami

Literature

Pele's Tsunami

Koana has organised a Talkstory, Mo'olelo Festival ["to let the spirit fly between people"] with indigenous storytellers from around the globe meeting in Hawai'i. The theme of the Festival is stories that celebrate past wisdom but also preview the effects of climate change on island nations of the Pacific. But they are challenged by US climate change deniers living on Maui. Who will survive Pele's Tsunami when it comes?

Literature

Routes and Roots: Navigating Caribbean and Pacific Island Literatures

The comparative literary geographies mapped in this book are unique and this has generated some interests in the origin of this project and my own particular relationship, as a white woman from Boston, to the Caribbean and the Pacific Islands.

The Falling Woman

A vivid desert odyssey; the falling woman travels through a haunting landscape of memory, myth and mental maps. Told in three voices- Stella, Estella and Estelle - this is an inspiring story which weaves together memories of childhood, epilepsy, ancient mysteries and the love of two women.

Offering an exciting ride into how the world could be, this challenging book is the one we have been waiting for.

Unsettling the Land

Literature

Unsettling the Land

Birds and Water- a pair that indicates vitality, a dynamic system, a system that changes season by season. But in our unsettling of the land we have removed the seasons and the birds. Stunning. Like the birds and water on the Murrumbidgee, this collaboration too is dynamic and vital, a woven landscape of word and texture into a wrought gift.
