 Atuanui Press

is pleased to announce the release of:

Oceania: neocolonialism, nukes and bones

by Andre Vltchek

Foreword by Noam Chomsky

Introduction by Dr Steven Ratuva

Oceania: neocolonialism, nukes and bones is a critical appraisal of the destructive consequences of colonialism and later neocolonialism and how they have reshaped and undermined the very essence of Pacific humanity. It provides a rather uncomfortable but justifiably powerful moral message that the perils of Oceania need drawing attention to for the future survival of Pacific peoples and cultures.

from Introduction by Dr Steven Ratuva - Senior Lecturer in Pacific Studies

at the University of Auckland

-------------------

Andre Vltchek, novelist, filmmaker, investigative journalist and photographer, spent five years travelling throughout Oceania. During his journey he interviewed politicians, social workers, journalists, teachers, doctors and the local inhabitants. He became friends with the great Pacific writer Epeli Hau'ofa who declared him an 'honorary citizen of Oceania,' and he intricately documented the appalling effects Western government policies, corporate strategies and military operations were having on the islands and peoples of the Pacific.

-------------------

Oceania: neocolonialism, nukes and bones elaborates, from a committed standpoint, a compelling and disturbing perspective upon a region in crisis.
