Bi-racial police officer Gideon Thompson comes to understand and appreciate his Tongan roots when he falls in love with Tilisa Tokelau, a beautiful teacher with a heart as big as the island her people came from. Along the way Officer Thompson survives a pit bull attack, foils an armed robbery and rebuffs the unwanted advances of his cheating ex-fiancée. Readers unfamiliar with Tongan culture will enjoy learning about Anga Faka Tonga, or what it means to be a Tongan, while following the travails of Tilisa as she works as a tou’a (a kind of bar maid) serving men the indigenous, intoxicating beverage kava. In the course of this duty she attracts the attention of a local drug dealer later implicated in a string of killings. That’s when Officer Thompson comes to the rescue.

Book Synopsis Wild Justice: Stories of the South Seas by : Lloyd Osbourne
Download or read book Wild Justice: Stories of the South Seas written by Lloyd Osbourne and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic that describes how, deep down, there appears to be a craving for a more primitive existence; that, while this is sometimes a delusion, the South Seas are more suitable to such aspirations than any other section of the globe. Few races are more appealing than Polynesians. Frank, the winner, is homosexual and extremely courteous; the taller type is frequently quite attractive and just slightly darker than Southern Europeans. Some of their experiences are genuinely lyrical. They have nearly limitless free time to share with the tourists in their midst, half nude, with flowers in their hair, and enough labor to maintain them in wonderful physical form. And soil, humanity's most formidable obstacle, does not exist. No one is cleaner, and no one has such high self-esteem. Sometimes one wonders whether it is not the white barbarian, who is the boss in certain aspects. Samuel Lloyd Osbourne, author, is an American writer and the stepson of Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, with whom he has co-written three works, including The Wrecker, and provided feedback and ideas on others. Osbourne also authored a few short tales and articles.

Book Synopsis Disrupting Whiteness in Social Work by : Sonia M. Tascón
Download or read book Disrupting Whiteness in Social Work written by Sonia M. Tascón and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focussing on the epistemic – the way in which knowledge is understood, constructed, transmitted and used – this book shows the way social work knowledge has been constructed from within a white western paradigm, and the need for a critique of whiteness within social work at this epistemic level. Social work, emerging from the western Enlightenment world, has privileged white western knowledge in ways that have been, until recently, largely unexamined within its professional discourse. This imposition of white western ways of knowing has led to a corresponding marginalisation of other forms of knowledge. Drawing on views from social workers from Asia, the Pacific region, Africa, Australia and Latin America, this book also includes a glossary of over 40 commonly used social work terms, which are listed with their epistemological assumptions identified. Opening up a debate about the received wisdom of much social work language as well as challenging the epistemological assumptions behind conventional social work practice, this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work as well as practitioners seeking to develop genuinely decolonised forms of practice.

Book Synopsis Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology by : Robert Dean Craig
Download or read book Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology written by Robert Dean Craig and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1989-10-11 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to 1500 A.D. the Polynesians were the most widely spread people on earth, having settled an area of the Pacific, the Polynesian Triangle, twice the size of the United States. In this first reference guide to the mythology of these Vikings of the Pacific, Craig reviews Polynesian legends, stories, gods, goddesses, and heroes in hundreds of alphabetical entries that succinctly describe both characters and events. His wide-ranging and thorough introduction sets the subject in its geographic, historical, anthropological, and linguistic contexts, offering an illuminating overview of the origin of the Polynesians as a distinct people and tracing their voyages and settlements from Indonesia to Malaysia, Tonga, Samoa, the Marquesas, the various islands of eastern Polynesia, including Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. The introduction presents fascinating information on Polynesian navigational skills and the voyages themselves, as well as a chart that details the evolution of the thirty Polynesian languages and compares cognates from several of these languages. A simplified pronunciation guide and a selected list of Polynesian dictionaries and/or grammars are provided for those interested in pursuing the richness of the Polynesian languages. This introductory survey gives readers the necessary background to understand the origin, development, and dispersion of the myths throughout the Pacific basin. The Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology is the result of many years of research. The individual entries were gleaned from nearly 300 sources in English, German, French, and Polynesian languages with the majority extracted from a number of primary sources that date generally in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The printed source materials for this volume are fully described and listed by geographical group, including Maori, Cook Islands, Tahitian, Marquesan, Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan. General collections that retell the Polynesian stories are also surveyed. The entries are alphabetically arranged by major mythological figure; lesser characters can be located in the index. Short bibliographical citations--author, date, and page number--are included at the end of each main entry to direct readers to fuller information contained in the printed sources. An appendix provides valuable supplemental information on Polynesian gods and goddesses. This dictionary is sure to become a basic reference tool for libraries, students, and scholars of Pacific history and culture, as well as for courses in mythology, religion, and philosophy.

Book Synopsis Survival of the Prettiest by : Nancy Etcoff
Download or read book Survival of the Prettiest written by Nancy Etcoff and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and thoroughly researched inquiry into what we find beautiful and why, skewering the myth that the pursuit of beauty is a learned behavior. In Survival of the Prettiest, Nancy Etcoff, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and a practicing psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, argues that beauty is neither a cultural construction, an invention of the fashion industry, nor a backlash against feminism—it’s in our biology. Beauty, she explains, is an essential and ineradicable part of human nature that is revered and ferociously pursued in nearly every civilization—and for good reason. Those features to which we are most attracted are often signals of fertility and fecundity. When seen in the context of a Darwinian struggle for survival, our sometimes extreme attempts to attain beauty—both to become beautiful ourselves and to acquire an attractive partner—suddenly become much more understandable. Moreover, if we understand how the desire for beauty is innate, then we can begin to work in our own interests, and not just the interests of our genetic tendencies.
