A fascinating, comprehensive history of French colonialism After Moruroa looks at the history of French colonialism in the Pacific—from the French Revolution to the Matignon Accords in New Caledonia and the end of nuclear testing at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls. What is the future for France’s Pacific colonies? As France integrates further with the European Union, can it retain ties with Pacific islands on the other side of the world? How will political changes in New Caledonia and a growing independence movement in French Polynesia impact on Paris? Nic Maclellan and Jean Chesneaux review the social, cultural, political and environmental impact of France’s presence in the region. They document French policy over two centuries, drawing on sources from Europe, Australia and the Pacific. With France’s “Grand Design” for the Pacific under challenge today, this authoritative study looks at the future for the South Pacific—after Moruroa. Nic Maclellan has worked as a journalist, researcher and community development worker in the Pacific islands. He currently works with the Pacific Concerns Resource Centre (PCRC) in Suva, Fiji. He has written widely on development, environment and disarmament issues, and is co-author, with Jean Chesneaux, of La France dans le Pacifique: De Bougainville à Moruroa (Editions la Découverte, Paris, 1992). Jean Chesneaux is emeritus professor of Asian and Pacific History at the Sorbonne (Université de Paris VII). He has traveled extensively the Pacific region since 1970. His recent publications include: Transpacifiques (Editions la Découverte, Paris, 1987), Brave Modern World (Thames and Hudson, London, 1993) and Abiter le temps (Bayard, Paris, 1996).

Moruroa, French Polynesia, French Nuclear Testing Zone. The History, and Environmental Information. A Book on Moruroa Environment. On July 2, 1966 the calm of French Polynesia's Mururoa atoll was shattered by an explosion of unbelievable force. Within a second, the azure tropical sky flashed bright orange, and was ruptured by a towering radioactive cloud that mushroomed into the atmosphere; the placid lagoon was stirred into a tempestuous cauldron, while the coconut trees on the white sand islets were bent by the sheer force of the nuclear explosion. "It's beautiful," said President Charles de Gaulle at the sight of the first of France's 193 nuclear tests in the South Pacific. But for French Polynesia and many of its people, the fallout from decades of nuclear weapons testing is still being dealt with 50 years after the first test

This study brings together topics in international relations and contemporary politics.

Grappling with the Bomb is a history of Britain’s 1950s program to test the hydrogen bomb, code name Operation Grapple. In 1957–58, nine atmospheric nuclear tests were held at Malden Island and Christmas Island—today, part of the Pacific nation of Kiribati. Nearly 14,000 troops travelled to the central Pacific for the UK nuclear testing program—many are still living with the health and environmental consequences. Based on archival research and interviews with nuclear survivors, Grappling with the Bomb presents i-Kiribati woman Sui Kiritome, British pacifist Harold Steele, businessman James Burns, Fijian sailor Paul Ah Poy, English volunteers Mary and Billie Burgess and many other witnesses to Britain’s nuclear folly.

David McTaggart is a 39-year-old Canadian expatriate with a boat, no commitments, and no politics when, in 1972, he succumbs to the appeal by the Canadian organization Greenpeace for someone to sail into the French nuclear test zone at Mururoa atoll. Competitiveness? Romance? A sailor's indignation ""that the French, or anybody else, should dare to cordon off a huge slab of the high seas in defiance of every known maritime law""? And McTaggart, based in New Zealand, is just about the only one with a boat capable of making the 3,000-mile trip in time. After efforts by local authorities to stop him, however, and harassment by French vessels at the site, McTaggart begins to appreciate the significance of his venture: ""the individual is anything but a powerless cipher."" He and his two shipmates have at least delayed the bomb tests, and McTaggart is somewhat awed that his small boat could affect ""the most incredible weapon of mass destruction ever devised."" Then a French vessel rams his sloop, and the tests take place anyway, completing McTaggart's politicization. Not only does he sail for Mururoa a second time, he is so outraged at the French government that he ties suit for damages. After a favorable ruling, McTaggart dreams that his victory may lead someday to the collapse of ""the whole elaborate interlocking structure of the military-industrial-complex."" Despite such grandiose statements, McTaggart's is an exciting story that does prove the power of one determined individual to make a resounding nuisance of himself.

Through most of the 20th century, the distinction between the fictional narrative film and the documentary was vigorously maintained. The documentary tradition developed side by side with, but in the shadow of, the more commercially successful feature film. In the latter part of the century, however, the two forms merged on occasion, and mockumentaries (fictional works in a documentary format) and docudramas (reality-based works in a fictional format) became part of the film and television landscape. The 18 essays here examine the relationships between narrative fiction films and documentary filmmaking, focusing on how each influenced the other and how the two were merged in such diverse films and shows as Citizen Kane, M*A*S*H, This Is Spinal Tap, and Destination Moon. Topics include the docudrama in early cinema, the industrial film as faux documentary, the fear evoked in 1950s science fiction films, the selling of “reality” in mockumentaries, and reality television and documentary forms. The essays provide a foundation for significant rethinking of film history and criticism, offering the first significant discussion of two emerging and increasingly important genres. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
