Pacific News member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.

Tarawa Culture Kiribati is more Islanders have traditionally lived in a subsistence economy based on root crops like taro and sweet potato, coconuts and produce from the sea, but as the cash economy makes inroads this is starting to fall by the wayside. Imported foodstuffs are becoming more common and growing in the popularity and status stakes in rural as well as urban areas. The local drop is the unfortunately named sour toddy, which missionaries frowned upon but were never able to wipe out. It is brewed from the coconut palm. Tarawa, Kiribati's capital, may not be the Venice of the Pacific, but you do have to negotiate the main sights by causeway and inter-island boat. While modernity is rearing its head, locals still welcome travellers as rarely seen curios. Although there's not much organised activity, it's not hard to find diving and game fishing in most places. And idyllic beaches are never far from anywhere if you want to escape with a book or a diving mask. Tarawa is the capital, of which the southern part is heavily urbanised. It contains more than 30% of the nation's population and is severely overcrowded. It can take some getting used to. If you are a traveller then Tarawa should not be your destination, go to one of the lesser populated 'outer' islands instead.

Tabiteuea Culture You'd be wrong if you thought crusades were confined to the 11th century and the Holy Lands. During the 1880s, a force from the Christian north led by Hawaiian pastors, descended on the southerners 'in the name of the Book' and killed about 1000 non-believers, and also grabbed some more land for themselves. The name 'Tabiteuea' means 'chiefs are forbidden', and the society of the islands is egalitarian with no nobility. It is the largest and most populous outer island, and parts of Tabiteuea South are among the most beautiful in Kiribati. The I-Kiribati, as locals are known, pronounced 'ee-kee-ree-bus', speak a Micronesian dialect, although English is widely used in official communications. The local alphabet has only 13 letters, with 'ti' standing in for 's'.

Recommended retail price $12. Originally published as The Natural History of Birdlife of Christmas Island, this book was written thanks to a grant from the Overseas Development Administration (British Development Division, Fiji). It includes diagrams and photos of the many different bird populations residing and visiting Christmas Island as well as some information and drawings on the plants, land crabs and lizards. Soft cover, 36 pages. Published in 1998. Book of Banaba, The by HC and HE Maude. Published by the Institute of Pacific Studies. ISBN 06420128X. Recommended retail price $15. When the Banabans had to leave their ancestral homeland as a result of the devastation caused by the phosphate mining industry they settled on the island of Rabi in Fiji. Unfortunately the traumatic upheavals which the community has been through since the beginning of the century, and particularly since the Japanese occupation, have resulted in an understandable loss of confidence and a questioning of their identity and future. The Rabi born, in particular, have little conception of their rich historical heritage and former culture. This book, therefore, has been prepared to provide the present and future generations of Rabi islanders with all that thas been recorded of their former way of life on Banaba from the time their forebears first settled it over a thousand years ago and created a prosperous, self-supporting and happy society numbering several thousand.
