2 v set SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS Fiji SAMOA Tonga POLYNESIA .....

Wonderful pair of histories on the Southwest Pacific published by the University of Michigan Press --  THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC TO 1900, A MODERN HISTORY: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, THE ISLANDS, ANTARCTICA, and THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC SINCE 1900, A MODERN HISTORY: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, THE ISLANDS, ANTARCTICA, by C. Hartley Grattan.  Massive reference history on the countries and islands of the South Pacific, from exploration and discovery, through development  and conflicts, up to the “present” of 1963.  Much on the aboriginal peoples, obviously, on colonialism and economic and governmental issues……  Illustrated with 21 maps….

I  listed this same pair of books twice, because there are so many terrific references in the contents that I can’t fit them all into one title.  As soon as the book sells, I’ll delist the other entry.....
