Download or read book Consuming Ocean Island written by Katerina Martina Teaiwa and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consuming Ocean Island tells the story of the land and people of Banaba, a small Pacific island, which, from 1900 to 1980, was heavily mined for phosphate, an essential ingredient in fertilizer. As mining stripped away the island's surface, the land was rendered uninhabitable, and the indigenous Banabans were relocated to Rabi Island in Fiji. Katerina Martina Teaiwa tells the story of this human and ecological calamity by weaving together memories, records, and images from displaced islanders, colonial administrators, and employees of the mining company. Her compelling narrative reminds us of what is at stake whenever the interests of industrial agriculture and indigenous minorities come into conflict. The Banaban experience offers insight into the plight of other island peoples facing forced migration as a result of human impact on the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working--and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"--the product of a systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive capitalism, and delegitimization. Here, Jessica Hernandez--Maya Ch'orti' and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul--introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives, citing the restoration work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle; her family's fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America; and holistic land management approaches of Indigenous groups across the continent. Through case studies, historical overviews, and stories that center the voices and lived experiences of Indigenous Latin American women and land protectors, Hernandez makes the case that if we're to recover the health of our planet--for everyone--we need to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands and restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect.

Book excerpt: "A beautiful translation . . . Yoshimoto deploys a magically Japanese light touch to emotionally and existentially tough subject matter: domestic disarray, loneliness, identity issues, lovesickness . . . [a] nimble narrative." ―ELLE In Moshi Moshi, Yoshie’s much–loved musician father has died in a suicide pact with an unknown woman. It is only when Yoshie and her mother move to Shimokitazawa, a traditional Tokyo neighborhood of narrow streets, quirky shops, and friendly residents that they can finally start to put their painful past behind them. However, despite their attempts to move forward, Yoshie is haunted by nightmares in which her father is looking for the phone he left behind on the day he died, or on which she is trying—unsuccessfully—to call him. Is her dead father trying to communicate a message to her through these dreams? With the lightness of touch and surreal detachment that are the hallmarks of her writing, Banana Yoshimoto turns a potential tragedy into a poignant coming–of–age ghost story and a life–affirming homage to the healing powers of community, food, and family.

Book excerpt: Robin Farber lives in a psychiatric institution. In her mind, she creates the world by looking at it: a quantum theory-world where matter pops in and out of existence as she observes it, a world where she is God. And, because the reader of "Banana Kiss" must take a long look through her schizophrenic eyes, this is our world, too, a world where the disembodied voices Robin hears are more real than the people who stand in front of her. Robin's world is populated by a rich variety of characters, both real and imaginary. Her father, a sailor who died when she was a baby, shows up in her head whenever he's on leave. Derek, her charming, lovelorn friend, goes from mania to depression and back several times a day. There's her insufferable sister Melissa, who stole her boyfriend, Max. And, of course, there's Dr Mankiewicz, or Whitecoat', the long-suffering therapist who, Robin tells us, thinks there are some things that are real, and some things that are not, and that he knows better than anyone else.' Finally, there is Robin herself, whose confused, psychotic, funny, compassionate voice is one you are not likely to forget.

Download or read book Nakaa's Awakening written by Stacey M. King and published by Banaban Vision. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nakaa's Awakening is the first book in the Land of Matang four-book series based on the epic story of Ocean Island, known as Banaba, situated near the equator in the Central Pacific. In 1900, the small remote Island was found to hold one of the richest grades of phosphatic rock. From this discovery rose the powerful Phosphate Industry and the emergence of an international consortium that would go on to control this new trade and forever change the destiny of the native Banaban people. The story commences in Australia in 1992 with the author (who is a descendant of the WILLIAMS) discovering hundreds of old photographs and documents left by her great grandfather. These photos belong to another time and place, back in the early 1900s that was often spoken of in the family home. It was a magical place called Ocean Island. The writer goes on to uncover the truth behind their stories and returns to 1902, with the WILLIAMS arrival on their new island home.The reader is offered a blend of history, biography and fictional reconstruction. Could John Williams, the hard-working company man and head of the Williams clan, be responsible for the ultimate destruction of paradise? Would his faithful, but headstrong wife, Ella, curb her growing interest in the native community with the help of her loyal houseboy, Tetabo at her side? Or would shy Hazel, their eldest daughter and her scandalous past destroy them all?How could the Banaban's survive? They were humble and trusting people, who believed that these white men and women had come to fulfil the prophecy in their folklore - the men from the Land of Matang. How could the Banabans save their homeland as the conflict builds or are they considered expendable? With the first thirty years of this compelling epic, the reader is taken on a journey where people with different cultures, values, and beliefs collide and become changed forever. Can the Banabans uphold their ancestral belief that good will overcome evil and survive the wrath of the Evil Spirit - NAKAA, and his AWAKENING ?
