I would like to draw the attention of members to a new book entitled
Sustainable Development or Malignant Growth? Perspectives of Pacific Island
Women and edited by 'Atu Emberson-Bain and published by Marama Publications,
Suva, December 1994. This 290 page book has 26 chapters by Pacific women on
an exceptionally wide variety of development topics. The coverage is
indicated by the headings of the 6 major sections:
1. How Wise the Wisdom? Challenging the Regional Development Agenda
2. The Fat of the Land: Conflicting Interests in Resource Use
3. Our Seas of Plenty: Resource Use and Abuse
4. Cultural Fall-out: Migration, Tourism and Imperialist Pursuits
5. Political frameworks and Perversions
6. Rethinking Sustainability in the Pacific : Women's Perspectives
Authors include: Yvonne Underhill-Sem, Claire Slatter, 'Atu Emberson -Bain,
>Premjeet Singh, Vanessa Griffen, Peggy Fairbairn-Dunlop, Ruby Mirinka,
Nahau>Rooney, Vina Bidesi, Konai Helu Thaman, Laura M. Torres Souder,
Susanna Ounei-Small, Cita Morei, Isabella Sumang, Ruby Mirinka, Kushma ram,
Orovu Sepoe, Noumea Simi, Arlene Griffen.
The book is beautifully presented and very competently edited. It is fully
referenced. It would make an excellent text in Pacific courses. In my view
the quality is very high and the contributions provide new and interesting
critical perspectives on major issues currently before Pacific societies
including the environment, fishing, resources management, the World bank
model, population growth and aid. It has a number of excellent articles
which examine the fundamental assumptions underlying current approaches to
development in the pacific .
Highly recommended.
Available at marama publications, c/- Marama Account, Box 5151, Raiwaqa,

The book will soon be available through the Department of Political and
Social Change, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, fax 249 5523;
