"Since 1984, the struggle of the Kanak people against French colonial rule in New Caledonia has consistently attracted world headlines. It has become a symbol of the new awakening of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific against more than 100 years of imperialist domination.

In the English-speaking Pacific and beyond, however, very little is known of the history of the Kanak anti-colonial struggle or the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS), which is leading the independence fight today.

In this pamphlet, Susanna Ounei, the official representative in New Zealand of the FLNKS who has been active in the national liberation struggle since 1969, backgrounds the situation in New Caledonia today and outlines the goals of the FLNKS. Also included is the founding charter of the FLNKS."

"The Union des Populations du Cameroun is a particularly interesting subject for a case study in African politics because it went against the dominant pattern of nationalist policies in French sub-Saharan Africa. It demanded the independence of Cameroun from Greater France; it called for reunification with the neighbouring colony of the British Cameroons; it viewed colonialism as based on capitalist exploitation and did not hesitate to say so, and it persisted in this radical challenge despite intense administrative and, later, military repression.

This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted.
