Pacific Identities and Well-being
Filling a significant gap in the cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary literature within the field of Pasifika (Polynesian) and Maori identities and mental health, this volume focuses on bridging mental health related research and practice within the indigenous communities of the South Pacific. Chapters address topics such as research examining traditional and emerging Pasifika identities; contemporary research and practice in working with Pasifika youth and adolescents; culturally-appropriate approaches for working with Pasifika adults; and practices in supervision that have been developed by Maori and Pasifika practitioners.

The Book of Dede Korkut
“The Book of Dede Korkut has been called the Iliad of the Turks . . . An excellent translation in English . . . Smooth, highly readable, enlightening.” —Books Abroad One of the oldest surviving pieces of Turkish literature, The Book of Dede Korkut can be traced to tenth-century origins. Now considered the national epic of Turkey, it is the heritage of the ancient Oghuz Turks and was composed as they migrated westward from their homeland in Central Asia to the Middle East, eventually to settle in Anatolia. Who its primary creator was no one knows, the titular bard, Dede Korkut, being more a symbol of Turkish minstrelsy than a verifiable author. The songs and tales of countless minstrels...

Until now, many historians have tried to avoid it and many Maori have considered it a subject best kept quiet about in public. Paul Moon brings together an impressive array of sources from a variety of disciplines to produce this frequently contentious but always stimulating exploration of how and why Maori ate other human beings, and why the practice shuddered to a halt jus...
Shoot the Messenger
"Report on the Nukualofa reconstruction project that was authorised by the Prime Minister of Tonga in April 2011. The report was not well received by his office and has never been released. What was so dangerous about this report that the Prime Minister's Office felt compelled to hide its content from public knowledge? Teena Brown Pulu, the report's author, sets the research that underpinned it in the political context of Tonga's struggling democratic reform, a small island developing state in global financial crisis, and the current government which operates by responding to varied interests and pressure groups, rather than as a coalition with a comprehensive social and economic vision. She offers a critique of factors producing a weak democratic state subject to the power of aid donor countries and regional policy in the South Pacific Islands, and entangled in how to systematically modify governance and society"--Back cover.
