Katherine Stirling Kerr Cawsey¿s first book, The Making of a Rebel, toldthe story of Captain Macleod¿s role in the white settlement of the NewHebrides and as a trader throughout the Western Pacific region. That bookended with Macleod¿s death at the age of fifty in 1894.From 1894 the Kerr brothers and sisters transformed Captain Macleod¿s business asthey became plantation, store and ship owners trading throughout and beyond theNew Hebrides Islands. This book is partly their story. Their story intertwines with thehistory of colonial settlement, the role of missionaries, and the effect of the inequitiesof French British Condominium rule and joint government on settlers and Islanders.Shaping the book are the diaries of Katherine¿s father, Graham Kerr, which providea rare glimpse of an individual haplessly caught up in a colonising venture inunfamiliar and incomprehensible circumstances, someone blocked at every turn byfailures in the hybrid administrative and legal systems of colonial government. Theyshow a man who, against all odds, was unable to relinquish his dreams or face hispersonal demons.In counterpoint, throughout the book the author touches uponanother New Hebridean world, full of distinctive and disregardedIndigenous voices¿the world that in 1980 was to become theindependent Republic of Vanuatu.

The Coconut War was the nickname for the rebellion on Espiritu Santo in 1979-80. The rebellion was not against the colonial powers, rather it was against the nascent government of Vanuatu. The French "Moderates" party wanted more say in the new government, including a slower path to Independence and stronger French culture in the new government. In an ironic play on their name of Moderates, they attacked the provincial government in Tanna and Espiritu Santo and declared Espiritu Santo and the northern islands the independent nation of Vemarana. But in 1980 it was the scene of a bizarre conflict, when a tribal leader called Jimmy Stevens, supported by an army of bow and arrow warriors, took over one of the northern islands and tried to break away from the powers of Britain and France. The British sent in their troops; the French theirs. But Jimmy and his men held firm. Award-winning journalist Richard Shears traveled to what was then known as the New Hebrides and became caught up in a most curious state of affairs, comic and tragic. It is doubtful that the Pacific will ever see anything like this kind of madness again. The author was dispatched to cover the story at the beginning of the conflict. The book is a chronicle of his adventures trying to find and then report on the Coconut War.

Houses Far From Home written by Margaret Rodman Critchlow and has been published by University of Hawaii Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001-03-01 with Social Science categories.

The houses far from home featured in this book are located in Vanuatu, a chain of islands between Fiji and Australia in the southwest Pacific. Once known as the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides, the islands were jointly administered by the British and French from 1906 to 1980. In this innovative and revealing study of a unique colonial project, Margaret Rodman tells the stories of these houses, exploring the profound differences of perspective, experience, and power that domestic spaces reveal and offering a novel look at the history of British colonialism in the Pacific. Each chapter has at its heart a house where readers can explore dimensions of race, gender, and power that domestic spaces reveal. Moving across time, between different islands and actors, between oral memories and archival documents, Margaret Rodman provides a richly documented "multi-sited ethnography" of the social history of the New Hebrides.

Keith Woodward has produced an inside account of the intricacies of official politics in the latter stages of the history of the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides, which will be essential reading for anyone interested in the colonial period of Vanuatu. Woodward spent 25 years in the New Hebrides (1953 to 1978) based in the British Residency and it is his long service which makes his memoir so informative and important. Following a fascinating and insightful description of Port Vila and the New Hebrides when he arrived in the 1950s, Woodward focuses the rest of his memoir on issues relating to the difficulties the British faced in convincing the French that the two powers should come to an agreement on decolonisation of the New Hebrides—that is, to establish a process of constitutional advancement leading ultimately to independence. — Howard Van Trease, Honorary Research Fellow, Emalus Campus, University of the South Pacific, Port Vila This is a highly original, evocative and engaging memoir which offers an insightful firsthand account of colonial administration, bilateral French and British relations, political change and decolonisation in Vanuatu. It addresses some lacunae in the historiography of Vanuatu and dispels a number of assumptions about French intentions there. It will be of great benefit to people interested in Vanuatu, and more broadly in political change in the Pacific, constitutional arrangements, decolonisation, French-British relations, and particularly the divergent colonial policies of France and the United Kingdom. — Gregory Rawlings, Anthropology, University of Otago
