An immersive journey through the tumultuous past and fascinating present of Australia’s nearest neighbours’We are the original people of the region … This is a black region, it’s not a white region.’ –Ralph Regenvanu, Ni-Vanuatu anthropologist and politicianStretching from Fiji in the east to New Guinea in the west, Melanesia is astonishingly diverse. Its islands are home to some 1200 language groups, many of them still isolated from the outside world. In Australia, this complex region tends to make the news only in times of military coups in Fiji, Kanak unrest in New Caledonia, rioting in Solomon Islands. Melanesia offers readers a deeper insight into the people and places behind these headlines, combining travelogue, history and astute political analysis.By land and sea, Hamish McDonald travels from one end of Melanesia to the other. Speaking with locals from all walks of life, he uncovers the histories, values, aspirations and tensions that have shaped their communities. He examines the impact of the Indians recruited to work in Fiji; the white and “blackbirders and ” who kidnapped Islanders for the Australian cane fields; the Americans during World War II; the Indonesians in New Guinea. And he considers the big changes unfolding today, as shifting demographics and the growing influence of China produce a new balance of power across the region.Vividly written, Melanesia is essential reading for anyone looking to understand this fascinating part of the world and its growing international significance.’A wonderful journey through history and geography that greatly expands our understanding of people whose lives will shape Australians’ future’ –Ross Garnaut
