Ancient Tahitian Society
“Tahiti is far famed yet too little known.” Thus wrote J. M. Orsmond in 1848, and the same assertion can be made in 1972. Thousands of pages had been published about Tahiti and its neighboring islands when Orsmond uttered his judgment, and tens of thousands have been published since that time, but a unified, comprehensive, and detailed description of the pre-European ways of life of the inhabitants of those Islands is yet to appear in print. The present work, lengthy as it is, makes no such claim to comprehensiveness; rather, it is concerned mainly with the social relations of those inhabitants, and it serves up only enough about their technology, their religion, their aesthetic expressions, and so forth to place descriptions of their social relations in context and render them more comprehensible. Volumes 1 and 2 of this work are a reconstruction of the Islanders’ way of life as it was believed to have been just before it began to be transformed by European influence—a period labeled the Late Indigenous Era. Volume 3 covers events in Tahiti and Mo‘orea from about 1767 to 1815—a period labeled the Early European Era.
The Pursuit of Spiritual Wisdom
This book explores van Gogh's and Gauguin's concepts of spirituality in life and art, and the ways in which their ideas and the events of their personal lives shaped their creation of repertoires of meaningful symbolic motifs.
Turbulences pacifiques
Cet ouvrage est un document d'un grand intérêt sur les problématiques de l'éducation et du développement dans le Pacifique, mais aussi un témoignage particulièrement original sur le contexte, les conditions et les enjeux de l'action administrative outre-mer. En même temps qu'un récit captivant, il constitue une analyse très fine des réalités et des mentalités locales et de la relation complexe qui s'établit entre les Océaniens et le monde particulier de l'administration "à la française" - dont les contours sont ainsi redéfinis d'une façon très directe et très neuve.
De l'adoption
Une approche comparatiste qui permet d'étudier les pratiques d'adoption traditionnelles et l'évolution contemporaine de l'adoption internationale. Montre que différentes conceptions de la filiation existe dans le monde. Ainsi, en Occident, la filiation priviligie le lien biologique tandis qu'ailleurs un enfant peut avoir plusieurs pères et mères, un constat qui interroge l'abandon et l'adoption.
Ancient Tahitian Society: Social relations

La domination des femmes à Tahiti
A la fin du XXe siècle, un nouveau mythe est né évoquant la situation privilégiée des femmes de Tahiti présentées comme socialement dominantes au point que certains ont qualifié la société tahitienne de matriarcat. Pourtant, les femmes et les enfants de ces îles ne sont pas épargnés par les violences conjugales et familiales. Ce livre démontre les paradoxes de cette situation.
Matamimi
C’est l’histoire de Matamimi, la jeune femme aux yeux de chats. C’est l’histoire d’une jeune femme de notre temps, une insulaire polynésienne, immortalisée dans l’écriture. Elle est née et son père est un demi-dieu. Ni exceptionnellement belle, ni exceptionnelle tout court, Matamimi fait vibrer les quelques témoins de sa vie. Matamimi ou La vie nous attend ! est un récit purement subjectif, un concentré d’amour et d’espoir pour celles qui pensent avoir fait l’innommable. Un texte fort ou se mêlent avortement, amour, attachement à sa terre, exil, changements politiques et culturels
