THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BATTLES THE PRC FOR OCEANIA. 4/4: Voyagers: The Settlement of the Pacific by Nicholas Thomas (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Voyagers-Settlement-Pacific-Nicholas-Thomas/dp/1541619838/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TWNZZ00KO4TU&keywords=NICHOLAS+CLARK+VOYAGERS&qid=1674136652&sprefix=nicholas+clark+voyagers%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-1 The islands of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia stretch across a huge expanse of ocean and encompass a multitude of different peoples. Starting with Captain James Cook, the earliest European explorers to visit the Pacific were astounded and perplexed to find populations thriving thousands of miles from continents. Who were these people? From where did they come? And how were they able to reach islands dispersed over such vast tracts of ocean? In Voyagers, the distinguished anthropologist Nicholas Thomas charts the course of the seaborne migrations that populated the islands between Asia and the Americas from late prehistory onward. Drawing on the latest research, including insights gained from genetics, linguistics, and archaeology, Thomas provides a dazzling account of these long-distance migrations, the seagoing technologies that enabled them, and the societies they left in their wake. 1873 NEW CALEDONIA

Dr. Van Jackson was invited to speak at the first Security of Micronesia Group, hosted by the Pacific Center for Island Security in Guam.I debuted a number of new arguments here, covering how to think about China's desire for “strategic space” in the Pacific and its surplus labor problem compared with US declining hegemony and Washington's desire for exclusionary control of the Pacific. I also try to explain why the Micronesian region's “sovereignty deficit” imperils its neighboring regions of Polynesia and Melanesia, as well as why strategic autonomy is the only solution that addresses everyone's interests.Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.comCatch The Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcastSubscribe to the Pacific Center for Island Security Newsletter: https://pcisguam.substack.com

In today's episode, author Hamish McDonald in conversation to discuss his book, Melanesia: Travels in Black Oceania. Stretching from Fiji in the east to New Guinea in the west, Melanesia is astonishingly diverse. Its islands are home to some 1,200 language groups, many of them still isolated from the outside world. In Australia, this complex region tends to make the news only in times of crisis – military coups in Fiji, Kanak unrest in New Caledonia, rioting in Solomon Islands. Melanesia offers readers a deeper insight into the people and places behind these headlines, combining travelogue, history and astute political analysis.

Marino Niola"Big Man"Il signore delle isole nereRaffaello Cortina Editorewww.raffaellocortina.itUno degli aspetti del mondo melanesiano che hanno attratto maggiormente l'attenzione degli antropologi è senza dubbio la dimensione politica e, soprattutto, la figura che più di ogni altra in Melanesia incarna il potere stesso: il Big Man. In queste società di piccole dimensioni e prive di apparati gerarchici, il leader non è che un individuo in possesso di particolari qualità personali, capace di sfruttare le proprie “virtù” per accumulare una riserva di beni e di crediti da spendere al momento opportuno trasformandoli in prestigio. Si tratta di un potere precario proprio perché eminentemente personale per cui sono gli stessi presupposti che ne determinano la nascita a segnarne inesorabilmente il declino. È proprio infatti a partire dal momento in cui la fama e gli onori del leader raggiungono l'apice che i fondamenti del suo potere cominciano a invertire i propri effetti. Il potere inizia allora a tracciare la parabola discendente.Marino Niola è professore ordinario di Antropologia dei simboli all'Università di Napoli Suor Orsola Benincasa e condirettore del Museo virtuale della dieta mediterranea e del MedEatResearch.

The “cargo cult” phenomenon refers to movements that emerged primarily in Melanesia during and after World War II. Indigenous groups, witnessing the influx of material goods (“cargo”) brought by Western military forces, believed these supplies were delivered through spiritual or ritual means rather than industrial production and global logistics. After the war, some communities attempted … Continue reading Episode 445: Cargo Cults of Melanesia
