When Women Ruled the Pacific: Power and Politics in Nineteenth-Century Tahiti and Hawai'i (Studies in Pacific Worlds)

When Women Ruled the Pacific: Power and Politics in Nineteenth-Century Tahiti and Hawai'i (Studies in Pacific Worlds) by Joy Schulz
English | August 1st, 2023 | ISBN: 1496231805 | 166 pages | True EPUB | 4.67 MB

Throughout the nineteenth century British and American imperialists advanced into the Pacific, with catastrophic effects for Polynesian peoples and cultures. In both Tahiti and Hawai'i, women rulers attempted to mitigate the effects of these encounters, utilizing their power amid the destabilizing influence of the English and Americans. However, as the century progressed, foreign diseases devastated the Tahitian and Hawaiian populations, and powerful European militaries jockeyed for more formal imperial control over Polynesian waystations, causing Tahiti to cede rule to France in 1847 and Hawai'i to relinquish power to the United States in 1893.

Spies and Sparrows: ASIO and the Cold War

Spies and Sparrows: ASIO and the Cold War by Phillip Deery
English | February 28th, 2022 | ISBN: 052287830X | 364 pages | True EPUB | 1.01 MB

In the wake of the Second World War and the realisation that the Soviet Union had set up extensive espionage networks around the world, Australia responded by establishing its own spy-hunting agency- ASIO. By the 1950s its counterespionage activities were increasingly supplemented by attempts at countersubversion-identifying individuals and organisations suspected of activities that threatened national security. In doing so, it crossed the boundary from being a professional agency that collected, evaluated and transmitted intelligence, to a sometimes politicised but always shadowy presence, monitoring not just communists but also peace activists, scientists, academics, journalists and writers.
