The purpose of Dr Franco's study is to show how Samoans perceive their work activities, and pattern meaningful work and non-work social transactions. Samoan work perceptions centre on two important social transactions: tautra, service to chiefs and families, and fa alavelave, mutual support during crucial life events. In his survey, Dr Franco demonstrates that Samoans are adapting to overseas labour markets (particularly Hawaiian) through culturally distinctive work perceptions and patterns. Tautra and fa alavelave, like the Korean kye, (the rotating credit association) are unique social transactions powerfully influencing work and adaptation. By examining Samoan perceptions and patterns of work it is (the author's) goal to identify unique alternative competencies'. . . rather than deficiencies in Samoan workers.

There is a plethora of literature regarding the metaphorical glass ceiling and its impact on certain individuals, namely, women and people of colour. The glass ceiling represents subtle barriers that are found in organisations, such as systemic processes and discrimination that are based on preconceived ideologies concerning gender and ethnicity, and these obstacles severely restrict career progression. This thesis investigates a potential glass ceiling for Samoans at work in NZ organisations based on the minimal representation of Samoans in senior management positions, and their over-representation in laborious, manual-type, lowskilled jobs. This study uncovered the career barriers that presented dilemmas and the strategies and facilitators that were used as career mechanisms for access to upper management roles. These facilitators provide a solid foundation as a starting point for other Samoans to consider in their career trajectories. Undertaken in the major cities of NZ, and employing a qualitative Pacific Research Paradigm, Teu le va methodology, and semi-structured interviews, this study focused on the experiences of 31 Samoan women and men in senior managerial occupations to reveal their career hurdles and success enablers. The findings indicated that Samoans juggle two separate cultures and values side-by-side, that is, Samoan and Palagi (Western-NZ). In some cases, these values are diametrically opposed to one's belief system and identity, as outlined in misinterpreted social-interactions in team meetings and dialogues. Moreover, racial discrimination, tokenism, and labour market segmentation barriers continued to thwart their efforts at accessing top positions. Indigenous Samoan hindrances included unequal power relations, intra-ethnic racism and gender bias from other Samoans that led to the manifestation of the 'U'u Coconut Crab Syndrome.' Career strategies, facilitators, and coping mechanisms comprised of 'voice' and 'authentic self,' higher levels of efficacy, positive self-talk and implementing legacies for the next generation of Samoans. In addition, the indigenous Samoan values of va (relational spaces) and tautua (honourable services) are akin to relationship-building and altruistic orientations that enhance personal attributes and motivation at work. Mentorshop and cross-race iv mentoring, higher education and job mobility strengthened career profiles and are recommended as important antecedents to career advancement. This thesis concludes with an array of theoretical contributions and practical implications, the limitations, and areas for future research, and a personal reflection of the research journey

Balancing the Tides highlights the influence of marine practices and policies in the unincorporated territory of American Sāmoa on the local indigenous group, the American fishing industry, international seafood consumption, U.S. environmental programs, as well as global ecological and native concerns. Poblete explains how U.S. federal fishing programs in the post–World War II period encouraged labor based out of American Sāmoa to catch and can one-third of all tuna for United States consumption until 2009. Labeled "Made in the USA," this commodity was sometimes caught by non-U.S. regulated ships, produced under labor standards far below continental U.S. minimum wage and maximum work hours, and entered U.S. jurisdiction tax free. The second half of the book explores the tensions between indigenous and U.S. federal government environmental goals and ecology programs. Whether creating the largest National Marine Sanctuary under U.S. jurisdiction or collecting basic data on local fishing, initiatives that balanced western-based and native expectations for respectful community relationships and appropriate government programs fared better than those that did not acknowledge the positionality of all groups involved. Despite being under the direct authority of the United States, American Sāmoans have maintained a degree of local autonomy due to the Deeds of Cession signed with the U.S. Navy at the turn of the twentieth century that created shared indigenous and federal governance in the region. Balancing the Tides demonstrates how western-style economics, policy-making, and knowledge building imposed by the U.S. federal government have been infused into the daily lives of American Sāmoans. American colonial efforts to protect natural resources based on western approaches intersect with indigenous insistence on adhering to customary principles of respect, reciprocity, and native rights in complicated ways. Experiences and lessons learned from these case studies provide insight into other tensions between colonial governments and indigenous peoples engaging in environmental and marine-based policy-making across the Pacific and the globe. This study connects the U.S.-American Sāmoa colonial relationship to global overfishing, world consumption patterns, the for-profit fishing industry, international environmental movements and studies, as well as native experiences and indigenous rights.

A new history of globalization and empire at the crossroads of the Pacific. Located halfway between HawaiÔi and Australia, the islands of Samoa have long been a center of Oceanian cultural and economic exchange. Accustomed to exercising agency in trade and diplomacy, Samoans found themselves enmeshed in a new form of globalization after missionaries and traders arrived in the middle of the nineteenth century. As the great powers of Europe and America competed to bring Samoa into their orbits, Germany and the United States eventually agreed to divide the islands for their burgeoning colonial holdings. In Coconut Colonialism, Holger Droessler examines the Samoan response through the lives of its workers. Ordinary SamoansÑsome on large plantations, others on their own small holdingsÑpicked and processed coconuts and cocoa, tapped rubber trees, and built roads and ports that brought cash crops to Europe and North America. At the same time, Samoans redefined their own way of being in the worldÑwhat Droessler terms ÒOceanian globalityÓÑto challenge German and American visions of a global economy that in fact served only the needs of Western capitalism. Through cooperative farming, Samoans contested the exploitative wage-labor system introduced by colonial powers. The islanders also participated in ethnographic shows around the world, turning them into diplomatic missions and making friends with fellow colonized peoples. Samoans thereby found ways to press their own agendas and regain a degree of independence. Based on research in multiple languages and countries, Coconut Colonialism offers new insights into the global history of labor and empire at the dawn of the twentieth century.
