“Quixotic And Utopian”: American Adventurers In The Southwest Pacific, 1897–1898, Hugh Laracy

Pacific Studies

The islands of the Pacific have long attracted escapists and adventurers from abroad. Mostly they have gone to Polynesia, and the bulk of scholarly commen- tary on the topic is concerned with that region. Even so, others have been tempted by Melanesia. Two such expeditions were those of the Percy Edwards and the Sophia Sutherland, which left San Francisco for New Guinea and the Solomons, respectively, in 1897. They involved 116 fortune seekers and were very well publicized at the time but have hitherto escaped the notice of historians. Yet, although they were total failures, they are not without considerable …

Patronage And Bureaucracy In The Hawaiian Kingdom, 1840–1893, Colin Newbury

Pacific Studies

The government of the Hawaiian monarchy operated as a patrimonial system until constitutional change in 1887 restricted the power of the king to control executive, legislative, and judicial institutions. Ministers, governors, senior offi- cials, legislators, and judges owed their positions to royal favor and influence, thus continuing for Hawaiian and foreign “service gentry” the practices of the pre-1840 kingdom by valuing loyalty higher than efficiency or selection by com- petition. At a second level, patronage by governors and senior officials expanded the ranks of those executives who ran public finance, land administration, in- ternal trade, education, police, and the judiciary. …

Where Has Rotuman Culture Gone? And What Is It Doing There?, Alan Howard, Jan Rensel

Pacific Studies

This article explores the now-problematic concept of “culture” and related terms in the context of a diffuse transnational Rotuman population, more than three- fourths of whom live abroad in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, and Europe. We begin by reflecting on prevailing criticisms of the culture concept, then present data in historical perspective on Rotuman communities in five different locations: Rotuma, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i. In presenting these data we examine the patterning effects of four key variables, in- cluding (1) macrosocietal attitudes, (2) the nature of the migration flow, (3) the size of communities, …
