One of the most famous aspects of Samoan culture is the fa'a Samoa, which emphasizes respect for family, community, and elders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Samoa is a group of islands located in the South Pacific, lying roughly 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii. It is an unincorporated territory of the United States, meaning that it is under American sovereignty but is not part of the 50 states. American Samoa consists of five volcanic islands and two coral atolls that cover an area of approximately 76 square miles. The islands have a tropical climate and are largely covered in lush rainforest with a diverse range of flora and fauna. American Samoa is home to a diverse culture that has been shaped by its unique history and geographical location. The islands were originally settled by Polynesian explorers, who brought with them their traditions, religion, and language. In 1899, the United States annexed the islands, and American Samoans became US nationals. Today, the islands are governed by an elected governor and legislature, and the people of American Samoa have a unique cultural identity that reflects their rich history and their position between Polynesia and the United States.

Book excerpt: "The story I have to tell is still going on as I write [....] it is a piece of contemporary history in the most exact sense." -Robert Louis Stevenson, A Footnote to History (1887) A Footnote to History: Eight Years of Trouble in Samoa (1887), by Robert Louis Stevenson, describes 10 years (from 1882 to 1892) in the history of a civil war that Stevenson became involved with after moving to Samoa. During this conflict, three colonial powers-America, Germany, and Britain-battled for control of Samoa with the indigenous factions that struggled to preserve their ancient political system. This book is the author's attempt to analyze the "elements of discord" in Samoa, giving his writing the realism of front-line journalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storms at sea, dangerous dive operations, and the science and mysteries of archeology drive this intriguing, true story set in the far Pacific. The narrative follows the adventures of two expeditions to a remote, unique, and uninhabited speck of land in the South Pacific — Swains Island — where author Daniel J. Basta introduces the reader to a traditional Polynesian culture and tiny Fagatele Bay. At the same time, he documents the expeditions’ roles in laying the foundations for the largest expansion of a marine sanctuary in U.S. history. Throughout the book, interesting and unorthodox personalities come to life, including that of Jean Michel Cousteau, whose award-winning documentary film about the second expedition, Swains Island — One of the Last Jewels of the Planet, escalates sanctuary expansion efforts. Finally, President George W. Bush takes action that leads to the creation of the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. But, above all, this story is about people — the American Samoans! Testimonials “Writer Daniel J. Basta is a tough, Brooklyn-raised brainiac who pulls no punches. In this book, he respectfully reveals the transformational power of the American Samoan culture, while satisfying his hunger for history, thirst for exploration, and enduring quest for adventure.” Steve Gittings, Coral-Reef Scientist “A great read about an American Samoan adventure, and how marine resources protection can be achieved.” The Honorable Togiola Tulafono, Governor of American Samoa, Retired “Explore history, science, and culture in a remote maritime area and learn how marine protected areas can be created in such places in this enjoyable narrative journey. A great companion piece to Jean Michel Cousteau's award-winning documentary, Swains Island — One of the Last Jewels of the Planet." Ole Varmer, Marine Protected Areas Attorney

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éd.: The displays were presented in amusement parks, zoological gardens and even at Munich's Oktoberfest beer festival. The viewers could travel "around the world for fifty Pfennig" and experience "typical" Samoan culture in the form of dances, music and weapon performances. This shaped the ways in which people saw (and continue to see) foreign cultures. This beautifully illustrated volume also explores the echoes of the Völkerschauen to be found in works of art created during the German Empire, including by the Brücke (Bridge) artists based in Dresden and Erich Heckel's drypoint Samoanischer Tanz (Samoan Dance), 1910; and traces German and Samoan interests.
