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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 996.81 Te Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 996.81 Te Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 996.81 Teaiwa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.81 Te Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.81 Te Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.81 Te Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.81 Te Checked In Add Copy to MyList
