Soft Covers. Condition: VG. No Jacket. Photos, Map (illustrator). 1st. Banaba Island lies to the north of the Solomon Islands , one of a group formerly known as the Ocean Islands. According to the editors the Banabans of historic times (more that 1000 years ago) had created a prosperous, self-supporting and happy society living in harnony with its envoronment. In the early 1900s, in colonial times, Banaba was target for the phosphate miners. The small island quickly became devestated, a situation not helped by Japanese occupation in WWII. Eventually, with the island unable to sustain its residents, they were relocated to a Fijiian Island of Rabi. By then much of the history, culture and traditions of the original Banabans was lost. This book was "prepared to provide trhe present and future generations of Rabi islanders with all that has been recorded of their former way of life on Banaba." The book is based on the papers of the editors, those of Sir Arthur Grimble and published works.
