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 book focusses on Graham Kerr, Katherine's father, and the tragic personal consequences of business failure for his direct and extended family. It asks what caused the Kerrs' businesses to fail? Was it the unremitting harassment of the Kerr family and its businesses from 1927 to 1952 by the French company Société Française des Nouvelles Hébrides? Was it the effects of the unpredictable role of Vichy France in the Second World War? Was it Australia's role in creating difficulties for Kerr companies? Was it the decline of the Pacific franc relative to the Australian and British pound so the Kerrs had no money to afford the comfortable life in Australia they had worked so hard to achieve? Was it the unwise management by the Kerrs of their business interests? In telling the story, the book provides a uniquely personal picture of the Western Pacific in the wider context of world politics-the War in the Pacific, the discord in the Pacific created by a divided France, the role of the war and its aftermath on the Kerrs' friends in France, the role of tariff barriers in preventing British settler traders in New Hebrides from selling produce within Australia, and the relative merits of communism and capitalism and the countries adopting these ideologies.

Tulagi was the capital of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate between 1897 and 1942. The British withdrawal from the island during the Pacific War, its capture by the Japanese and the American reconquest left the island’s facilities damaged beyond repair. After the war, Britain moved the capital to the American military base on Guadalcanal, which became Honiara. The Tulagi settlement was an enclave of several small islands, the permanent population of which was never more than 600: 300 foreigners—one-third of European origin and most of the remainder Chinese—and an equivalent number of Solomon Islanders. Thousands of Solomon Islander males also passed through on their way to work on plantations and as boat crews, hospital patients and prisoners. The history of the Tulagi enclave provides an understanding of the origins of modern Solomon Islands. Tulagi was also a significant outpost of the British Empire in the Pacific, which enables a close analysis of race, sex and class and the process of British colonisation and government in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

This personal observation of Tanna, an island in the southern part of the Vanuatu archipelago, presents an extraordinary case study of cultural resistance. Based on interviews, myths and stories collected in the field, and archival research, The Tree and the Canoe analyzes the resilience of the people of Tanna, who, when faced with an intense form of cultural contact that threatened to engulf them, liberated themselves by re-creating, and sometimes reinventing, their own kastom. Following a lengthy history of Tanna from European contact, the author discusses in detail original creation myths and how Tanna people revived them in response to changes brought by missionaries and foreign governments. The final chapters of the book deal with the violent opposition of part of the island population to the newly established National Unity government.
