My Consulate in Samoa: A Record of Four Years' Sojourn in the Navigators Islands, With Personal Experiences of King Malietoa Laupepa, His Country, and His Men (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book chronicles the experiences of a man who left England to serve as an adviser and chief secretary to the king of Samoa, an archipelago in the South Pacific. The author reveals that his journey, which in theory should've been one of comfort and privilege, was actually marred by difficulties and discomfort. Besides the arduous travel conditions he faced, he also had to grapple with the rampant alcoholism, violence, and exploitation perpetrated by the European colonists and traders. The author ultimately illuminates the grave conflict between Western powers seeking to control Samoa and the islanders' struggle to preserve their autonomy amidst the chaos.
