Te Rii ni Banaba - backbone of Banaba, is a history of Banaba, situated in the Central Pacific, once known as Ocean Island. By recording genealogies, myths, legends, customs, culture, magic rituals, the long-kept secrets of the te Aka clan and the uniqueness of Banaban identity. The arrival of the I-Matang (Europeans), beachcombers, blackbirders, whalers, missionaries, and the miners in 1900, with the discovery of phosphate (guano) and a heartbreaking trail of loss, exploitation and environmental degradation from mining. The toll of World War II atrocities suffered during the Japanese invasion, and the subsequent forced exile of the Banabans from their homeland. The recorded names of those tragically killed on Banaba during the War and displaced Banaban survivors who were exiled on Rabi, Fiji in 1945. This second edition includes additional photographs, the discovery of the missing link of the Toakira, the search for Teimanaia's skull, identification of the landowners from the first agreements in 1900, and insights into the famous 1975 Banaban Court Case. It also provides details of villages lost to mining for future generations to trace their genealogies and land rights. Although remote and now decimated by mining, Banaba remains in the hearts of all Banabans. In 1997 Sigrah and King formed a personal and collaborative partnership to seek justice for the Banaban people and to see the rehabilitation of the Banaban homeland left destroyed by mining. They share the belief that their lives and destiny are intertwined, bringing them together so they could try and right the wrongs of the past. Raobeia Ken Sigrah is a Banaban, born and schooled on Rabi, Fiji. He is a descendant of one of the Banaban elders who signed the original contract to mine Banaba. His elders educated him from an early age on Banaban genealogies, myths, legends, and customs. He was given the responsibility to represent and speak for twelve clans. He danced, sang and was part of Banaba’s living culture as he grew up. He worked for the Rabi Council of Leaders and represented Banabans in cultural performances abroad and until now, has utilised much of this knowledge in his role as clan spokesman. Stacey M. King called Nei Titeiti Naking by the Banabans, is an Australian with four generations of her family involved with phosphate mining on Banaba from 1900. Led by family interest, she conducted her own research, visiting Rabi for the first time in 1991. She began to publish Banaba/Ocean Island News in 1992 and in 1993 formed the Banaban Heritage Society Inc, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the preservation of history and bettering of the lives of the Banaban people. Te Rii ni Banaba - backbone of Banaba, offers not only traditional knowledge and historical research but also the authors commitment to save the remaining evidence of the old Banaba. The book is essential reading for Banabans, and for a broader audience keen to learn more about migrations, environment, human rights and the fate of an indigenous people in the modern world.

商品の説明

レビュー

"This book is so well researched, written, and produced. The story is well told, but the visuals really help tell the whole story. Most anthropological books of a similar vein would include this information, but this doesn't read like a normal textbook. Perhaps, it's because the authors have emotional ties and understand Banaba on a deeper level. This is opposed to an outside author or academic coming in to write a book.

The history of Banaba is something that needs to be told".

Judge's Commentary: 27th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards. USA

"Thank you both for keeping it alive for our young generation to feel and understand the sufferings, frustrations, anger and fights our ancestors had gone through many years back for our beloved Island. It is indeed a sad story.

How on earth some richest countries were so unfair and inhuman to our people by destroying us and the beauty of our Island."

GIGI UEKAM, Young Banaban

"It covers all aspects of the ancient and modern history, traditions and present day state of the Banaban people. It is dedicated to future generations of Banabans in the hope that they will want to know about their peoples' and their island's past while, in all probability, blending more and more with the world directly around them in their Fijian exile. The book is detailed, thorough and passionate. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know about the Banabans. It is also a fine study of the horrendous local consequences of British (Australian, New Zealand) imperialism and economic exploitation."

Jeremy Cooper, Freelance Media Producer, UK.

"Great collection of archival research and traditional history - This book is a great introduction to Banaban culture and history. Sigrah and King weave traditional history with archival research in a format that's accessible and interesting. A must-read for anyone interested in Oceanic cultures & history, especially those affected by mining operations and displacement during the colonial era".

Janice L. Cantieri, USA. National Geographic-Fulbright Fellow, Reporting from Fiji and Kiribati.

5つ星のうち5.0 A definitive account of the traditions, history and plight of the Banaban people

I had the privilege of visiting Banaba in 1997 on the Homecoming trip organised by Stacey King and Ken Sigrah. I made a BBC documentary about the visit for the Open University - I'm grateful that my film is generously mentioned in this book.

Making the documentary obviously involved learning about the Banaban story. I came away with (I think) a pretty good understanding of the way phosphate mining wrecked the island, and lead, after WW2 to the Banabans being removed to Rabi Island in Fiji, 2000 miles away. This book adds so much to what I learned then!

It covers all aspects of the ancient and modern history, traditions and present day state of the Banaban people. It is dedicated to future generations of Banabans in the hope that they will want to know about their peoples' and their island's past while, in all probablity, blending more and more with the world directly around them in their Fijian exile.

Banabans know that they are a people distinct from the Kiribatis to whose country the island of Banaba is now asigned, and from the Fijians in whose country most Banabans now live. But this knowledge has often been challenged: this book sets out, inter alia, to present and prove the case for Banaban distinctiveness. Much of the argument centres on the culture of the indigenous people of the island - Ken Sigrah is descended from them.

The book is detailed, thorough and passionate. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know about the Banabans. It is also a fine study of the horrendous local consequences of British (Australian, New Zealand) imperialism and economic exploitation.

I read the Kindle version. It would benefit from some further copy editing to iron out a few presentational glitches, but these in no way detract from the power and fascination of this book.
